Dex was helping his daughter and son-in-law move into a new house and their internet wasn’t hooked up yet. He posted about it [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=17811173&postcount=75). ---

> [@Drunky\_Smurf](#): > > Yeah, CKDH just went on holiday for a week or two and is back now. Well, he was back, but we haven’t heard from him in the Bible thread. And that seems to be something he really enjoys. Since he hasn’t even responded to PMs, I think he was premature when he said he was back. Maybe he had to go out an help them again. A PM he did send me earlier did imply he wasn’t posting from home. ---
