See, that's the thing.  There was an event some months ago when he 
"retired" for a few days, and Gentoo was able to carry on, but it wasn't 
without pain, and there was some noise to it.  There was also great 
rejoicing when he returned -- I do think he needed the break as he seemed 
a bit less brittle on his return, and I KNOW everybody else was very 
relieved that he returned.

But this time he just dropped off the face of the Internet, from what the 
postings said.  That's really not like him, and others had already posted 
their worry by the time I read about it.

Hopefully, it's something simple like that he suffered hardware problems 
and just couldn't login until he got them fixed!  Certainly rather that 
than the unspeakable possibilities I'm sure are running thru many 
people's minds currently.
