He will be missed

[Carien van Hest]

Just got the news that Mark Johnson has quietly left the IUOMA building.

Mark Johnson emailed back this morning and says he "just wanted to quietly disappear"; hence no announcement. Having gleaned addresses and made contacts, he'll go forward much like folks did in the Global Mail and Factsheet5 days in snailmail mode.

yes he will be missed... 

it's always a little strange when correspondents fade from view with no explanation. understandable, perhaps, esp. given recent developments (AI scraping sites etc.), but still a little disconcerting. 

like Luis Filipe Gomes - anyone know anything about his departure from IUOMA?

(thanks, Carien, for clarifying that MJ is still around, even if no longer here)

[William M]

good that it's just left. but he'll definitely be missed. i wonder if he's also dropping out of the network completely?

[Bradford]

I have emailed him and the email did not bounce back so the address is still valid.

[Carien van Hest]

Too bad...

[Bradford]

His blogspot page is also missing now. ( http://foetalwombat.blogspot.com )

'Just left', William.

[William M]

wait, do you mean he's just left the IUOMA site? (people often come and go) or has passed away?

He will definitely be missed.
