See, that's the thing. There was an event some months ago when he "retired" for a few days, and Gentoo was able to carry on, but it wasn't without pain, and there was some noise to it. There was also great rejoicing when he returned -- I do think he needed the break as he seemed a bit less brittle on his return, and I KNOW everybody else was very relieved that he returned. But this time he just dropped off the face of the Internet, from what the postings said. That's really not like him, and others had already posted their worry by the time I read about it. Hopefully, it's something simple like that he suffered hardware problems and just couldn't login until he got them fixed! Certainly rather that than the unspeakable possibilities I'm sure are running thru many people's minds currently. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
