While @skeptic seems to have taken a powder, Bernie repeatedly blasted him into negative rep, from where the community restored him to wholeness. Bernie eventually bored of it, and moved on. Dunno why @skeptic left, but he had moved across country just prior to his fading out, and I suspect that was why.

Prolly lost his keys from computer upgrade, or damage while moving. He was quite inspirational to me, despite his rough writing and sometimes quite rude memes.
