He had surgery about a year ago and since then hasn't been seen
online.
But of course the trolls impersonating him haven't stopped.
One only wishes they'd also undergo surgery. Terminal...

"Ryadia Pty Ltd" of Birkdale Queensland. "A suburb of Redlands City." As I
read it more closely, I suspect that the appropriate term may be "regional"
rather than "national".

For quite a while he was over at dpreview's forums under several names
(of course) including 'Lone Dingo', 'Pelicano', and 'WNPMedia'. Don't
know if he's still there, but you couldn't miss his style if you
happened upon any of those folk's postings..

(grin) Read the whole thread if you want to 'enjoy' the good ole
days...
