Skip, I hate to ask but were you approached by board staff to return, perhaps with the idea you’d be made a moderator again? They tried that last year with Gary Robson, it was pretty humiliating and I’m sorry to say I called it.
We were assured Gary’s ‘proven track record’ was beyond reproach. He disappeared a few days later (announcement Sept 28, last post Oct 2, 2018) and hasn’t been heard from since. He was quietly delisted along with a batch of other absentee moderators last year.
