Seems like he had the common courtesy to say goodbye, at least that's what I thought the context was, and the community here ought to accord him the same courtesy and let it lie. I for one didn't perceive much "drama" in the OP (though like Dave I think the best way to leave any online community is simply to quietly to walk away), though a lot of what has been posted subsiquent to that OP has been essentially poke-nosed in nature (just my opinion, of course). People come and go and, as has been said already, the door is open should he ever want to post again.
