Larking aside, Steve, I hope you've just decided to mix with a better class of people in your online activities and that nothing bad has happened to you.

I am surprised that he even bother to write at all. 99.99% of the time, Internet activities ceased without further action-stop posting-on the user's part. Maybe he/she changed user or screen names, got a new hobby, got a divorce, or simply grew bored with his/her bikes.

Steve won't get bored with his bikes - he was in the middle of building up a 24" R20, and regularly took part in group rides with ex-racing friends in Bendigo.

I fear the worst - terminal illness or something like that.

Na - he's nearly as mighty as you are Jur. I'm not even going to think about that. We are the immortals!

There is no goodbye date.
Pipe in to let us know you are okay 'cause you're freaking us out.
Folder friends wouldn't do that to each other.
