...why Mr. Beck123 isn't here any more? If you can say, that is. I PM'ed him some time ago but have had no reply. Did he post a reason that I missed?

His posts were always so clever, especially in this category; I really miss reading them.

he last posted in mid-December, and it was on an upbeat note, so unless someone has had a PM from him in the meantime...

or, I'm afraid that I have to say that, even I, really just don't know.

I have his email address, I'll give that a try.
