Did he say he was leaving? ---

You realize that if you linked his profile we all wouldn’t have to go breaking the search engine to investigate. [DSYoungEsq](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php) Crap, a 99er, was he Charter? I’d like to search his posts, but I believe I am only allowed one search a week. ---

I don’t have any definitive answer here – I saw nothing indicating his intention to leave. I’d be much more inclined to believe it a database glitch than a longstanding, active member without profound issues against the board suddenly quitting. But maybe someone who actually knows something will clear it up. ---

The above link proves that **DSYoungEsq** is still posting as always. I think it’s a glitch. ---

IIRC, which I probably don’t–he wasn’t a Charter Member, because he declined to Pay to Post. After a while, he decided he missed the boards, and came back. So, my assumption on seeing that guest tag is that his subscription is up or almost up, and he will need to renew. But don’t count on my memory being accurate. ---

I’m not sure what happened to his title; we’ll check on it. Probably not until Monday, though. ---

I’ve seen this a lot. With other people at various times. I always thought it was a glitch. Sometimes I’d see a member who has been here awhile’s status be guest just in one recent topic and will wonder what happened…but it’s happened often enough now that I just figure something wonky in the system. ---
