it seems
mike was (very) quietly removed from PW last fall

a wonderful story teller
insightful piano person
wild, crazy , silly and sincere

cheers to you mike


and all the personalities, characters, that make pw plausible and possible.
and those with a touch of humor

miss you mike

I don't know about the "quietly removed" Dara. Mike comes from a long tradition of Bay area incendiaries such as M & B and hoaglie, both of whom have been purged from the user list. So you might assume that those guys were taken out and a cleaner sent in. Mike's still up in the user list, so he may have pulled the cord on his own parachute.

It wouldn't surprise me if he's working on an application to the Estonian government for an economic incentive grant.

Why don't you pop him a PM to see what's up.
