That is indeed bad news. I wonder what happened. :?

If you're reading this Jim, thanks for everything you've done for our community over a long period of time, and best wishes always.

I do hope that you'll come back though.

I contacted Jim.

Thankfully, nothing untoward has happened.
What he was doing was becoming more of a chore than a hobby.

Let's hope that he might regain his enthusiasm at some stage.
