Most of you have never had the pleasure of meeting Andrew Macrae.
Andrew was one of the most sensible, decent, and honest folks I
have ever had the pleasure of meeting on the net. His ability
to stick to the point, his knowledge of geology and related
areas, and his ability to keep his cool are legendary.

One need not wonder why he has left. As he announced in
talk.origins (which Mr. Conrad reads, or should, since he
posts there) he has completed his research, turned in his
thesis, defended it, and has been awarded his Ph.D. Further,
having accepted a "real" job, he's now off working, and currently
without net access.
