See, that's the thing. There was an event some months ago when he |
| 12 |
"retired" for a few days, and Gentoo was able to carry on, but it wasn't |
| 13 |
without pain, and there was some noise to it. There was also great |
| 14 |
rejoicing when he returned -- I do think he needed the break as he seemed |
| 15 |
a bit less brittle on his return, and I KNOW everybody else was very |
| 16 |
relieved that he returned. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
But this time he just dropped off the face of the Internet, from what the |
| 19 |
postings said. That's really not like him, and others had already posted |
| 20 |
their worry by the time I read about it. |
| 21 |

Hopefully, it's something simple like that he suffered hardware problems |
| 23 |
and just couldn't login until he got them fixed! Certainly rather that |
| 24 |
than the unspeakable possibilities I'm sure are running thru many |
| 25 |
people's minds currently. |
