Seriously, if Rationalwalk is that delicate, he is better off not posting here. I had to reread these messages to even try to guess what was leading to discussions of yet another magnificent GBF.

I think Jim has suffered many more slings and arrows than any one week on these shiny new boards have produced, and fortunately for us all, he powers through with politeness, clarity, and usually much better natured and informative responses than I can manage even when I think I'm being complimented. Jim is my touchstone, when Jim sneezes, the world has bubonic plague, but until that day everything is great.

I'm hoping RW is not that delicate, and is just posting when he feels like it and not posting when he feels like it, just like all the rest of us should be doing. But if he is indeed gone, perhaps the more controlled environment of his own site just suits him better, and those of us who want a fix of RW will just have to go get it there. C'est la vie, as they might say in Jim's neighborhood.
