He's obviously still dispensing audio expertise, just
not anyplace where he's going to be abused like he was
on usenet by the usual suspects.

Well, if he was posting in open forums, that I would
understand. He was not abused on RAHE, although he was
sometimes challenged in argument.

JJ pretty much had his act together. Challenging him was mostly for the
foolhardy. However, he was not without his unusual shadings of meanings and
occasional controversial (as in capable of being rebutted effectively)
comments.

I think he just got
tired of having to explain things again and again to new
people.

I know that JJ got tired of the ongoing harrasment and childish
name-calling by Middius and his clique over here.


But largely I think he quit for awhile because of
a major shift in his life that demanded his attention
elsewhere.

I think that he was shaken up by being forced out of the AT&T labs.


And he has simply chosen other, more
web-centric, places to reemerge (usenet hardly has the
monopoly on forums that it, along with CompuServe, had in
the pre-web days.

But HTML-based forums are so awkward and slow, compared to Usenet.
