I spoke to Bob a couple of weeks ago. He was doing well. He is very busy these days, so I think that's why he hasn't been active on the forum lately. I think the timing of this new forum is purely coincidental for Bob. But while we're at it, where Hans and the other Jake? Not to mention numerous others from longer ago like Mr. Guiness, Denny Dimwit, Shifty, Eric, and Tanman.
