My bet is that he stopped posting due the extraordinary negativity that infected this board for a while. I've heard it from too many people...they stopped coming here because of the jerks.

Even the owner of Astro Coffee admitted that he and his wife wouldn't have even CONSIDERED moving to Detroit without this forum...but he doesn't even come here any longer. I told him about the initial thread on their business, and he said he'd have been devastated to have that pile-on after all their hard work and investment.


Thanks for the recommendation, Ed. I look forward to reading Richard's work. I always enoyed encountering him here.



Cheers,
John
