Yeah, some nasty argument happened, his last post is an indication.

I think it is the 'Fake members' thread  that contains the 'argument'

Which can be found here  (c'mon people, stop tiptoeing around the issue):
http://www.autos.ca/forum/index.php/topic,86993.msg973890.html#msg973890

The thread above contains his final post on the board, so it is reasonable to conclude that it was the "final straw".  Honestly, I can't see the problem in this one thread so there must have been many such straws added to the pile over the last few years from his perspective.

Regardless, I have retired my "Saffy Decoder Ring" for the moment, possibly forever.   ;) ;D

There's definitely more to this than my eye can see, but I miss Saf's posts, took me a while learning how to read them and now all this effort down the toilet??? Saf, come back!!! ;D

Yeah, having started on the the evening's second bottle of wine certainly helped in terms of "Saffy comprehension".

Still no sign of him?  I've been away off and on for months at a time, but this is strange.  Mods, can you bounce him an email?

i used to moderate a site a while back... sometimes you just lose people. it happens. something happens that finally makes them think they don't want to deal with the site anymore, then once away... they realize, hey... i don't miss it!

all the best wherever he may roam. i'm no longer involved with any of the old site i used to moderate.. yet speak to, hang out with and eventually married(!) people from the site... or i guess... a person... only married one.
