I would imagine he is gone for good. He completely deleted his username a few days back - I can't imagine he wants to come back with a new handle and start afresh. People move on, for whatever reason. Consider me one of the ones who gets more jaded by the day, although I blow in the wind on whether I will completely leave. It is weird..... when you first come, you can't imagine leaving...... and then you read the archives and all of the massive amount of people who have - including many who spent years on here...... and, well, everyone needs to accept that the day may finally come when you want to leave it all behind. And at this point I could go either way..
