Nah... not in the pages of Format, anyway. The only clue I can find is in
the editorial of the final issue (dated October 1998, but not received till
months later):
"I'm sorry the technical hotline has been out of action for most of the last
month. I've been missing from the office due to personal illness - a virus
which caused swelling of the cartilage joining my ribs together, this made
breathing difficult and talking even worse [...] While I am still suffering
a bit, and some of the drugs are leaving me very tired, I am back to the
grindstone now [...]"
That'd certainly explain why he's been out of action (except for posting
sillyness on newsgroups) since then, but of course knowing Bob there's
always the distinct possibility that it's a complete load of nonsense...
