I never quit! I was temporarily locked out for a short time due to a misunderstanding.
As I have said several times, I quit CMNS only because I am lazy about keeping track of information, and I don't want to upset anyone there.

He was terribly upset with me because I reported that during the ACS press conference, he relayed questions via e-mail from Larsen. It turns out someone else was doing that. Why that would upset him is a complete mystery to me. It seems like an innocuous thing to do, and an innocuous mistake on my part. I think he was also upset because people criticized him for shoddy work, such as using the trick from "How to Lie with Statistics." If someone caught me doing that, I would be embarrassed and apologetic, not upset with that person. Perhaps he has not read that book and he did not realize the technique is considered deceptive. I should have pointed it out the first time he did it, here. People get riled up for reasons that make no sense to me. I expect he will be back soon. I should probably not write too many snide comments about him in the meanwhile, since he can always read the archives. - Jed
