That's wild. I also ventured over to another mailing list for an organization he's been involved in, main plug. They claim he should be just fine and well and someone claimed to have just recently spoken to him or to have seen a post from him somewhere online about a month ago. I could find no evidence of that and he never chimed into the list discussion as others thought he might. Just my 2 cents.
