As best I can recall...and it's hazy for me, so I may be 
wrong...there was a combination of contentiousness on the list 
(basically too many mini flamewars out of control) and real life 
obligations that caused him to gradually stop doing the summaries and 
leave the list.

That was how the CBW got started.  He asked for volunteers to review 
some games in 1999 and I signed up to do a couple.  The first few 
were done here on the lists, then I started the CBW.  I credited him 
on the site with his amazing inspiration for game reviews, and agree 
he was a master of the form.

I have no idea what happened to him since, but I miss him, too.
