Comment by Bradford on June 2, 2023 at 6:08pm: 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.

Comment by Zack on June 2, 2023 at 7:31am: 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)

Comment by William M on June 2, 2023 at 5:59am: good that it's just left. but he'll definitely be missed. i wonder if he's also dropping out of the network completely?

Comment by Bradford on June 2, 2023 at 5:55am: I have emailed him and the email did not bounce back so the address is still valid.

Comment by Carien van Hest on June 2, 2023 at 5:40am: Too bad...

Comment by Bradford on June 1, 2023 at 9:42pm: His blogspot page is also missing now. ( http://foetalwombat.blogspot.com )

Comment by Carien van Hest on June 1, 2023 at 6:25pm: 'Just left', William.

Comment by William M on June 1, 2023 at 6:08pm: wait, do you mean he's just left the IUOMA site? (people often come and go) or has passed away?

Comment by Maxima Strange on June 1, 2023 at 2:52pm: He will definitely be missed.
