	The rumours doing the rounds among the 2300+ players i know
are that he is now living from hand to mouth with no fixed place
of address. There exists a woman who gets all his mail but i've
forgotten all the details. He is said to be afraid of Russian 
assassins and is essentially vagrant. He is possibly (mildly?)
psychotic. the stuff about the fundamentalist christian sect is
true. Please remember this is all PURE RUMOUR.
