On March 18, I received an email from Mike explaining why he was "stepping away from the forum for a little bit."

He and I have emailed back and forth a few times since then, including about a week ago. He and his family sound to be doing well, but I am not under the impression that intends to come back to the forum at this point (perhaps I'm mistaken, but I have not been led to believe otherwise).

As far as I know, I would not plan on Mike leading a Secret Santa this year.

He did such a good job.
I can't even imagine the effort needed to do it properly...

IIRC, pipe-smoking wasn't really working for him anymore. I can see losing interest in the hobby forums after that.
