Last I heard he had gotten mixed up with a fundamentalist Christian commune
and was doing farm work, poor guy.  Seems like as good a way to recover from
burnout as any...  Anybody else heard anything?

By the way, the regulars in all those newsgroups mentioned above will probably

only?  Would it have worked if I had edited the header while building this
followup?
