Remember him? He left here some time ago but I've been wondering about him a great deal. I always admired his perspectives. I hope he is safe and secure wherever he is in MN.

Does anyone see him on any other votes or boards?

okay----i know just who you are talking about. He was VERY knowledgeasble, unlike myself. In fact, he knew EVERYTHING. Just ask a question, and there he was, with a complete explanation about the entire subject. But yeah---i miss him, too. Because now i'm stuck here with people who like to talk about things they have very little knowledge of. So anyway----i think he may've moved on to a staff positioin at Encyclopedia Brittanica. That would be my guess. Hope that helps you kids some. Thankk mee.

I too have thought about him recently, but I have no idea where he went or what he's up to. I was sorry when he left; he was a knowledgeable contributor to the Forum.

I don't frequent this forum very often, but I do remember SteveInMn and I'm sorry to hear he left. Did he just vanish or did he state he was leaving?

As I recall he stated he was not going to post anymore, maybe around 2017 or so? (just guessing) I sent him some collard seeds from Michigan.

He still visits and reads from time to time, last time recorded was in December. His last post was in 2021 and explained his reasoning for leaving:

"As a result of a few conversations with a very close friend of mine, I've decided to make a few digital/media changes, too, using the new year as a convenient starting point. My life will be much better served spending more time away from my computer so I've had to make some choices regarding where I spend my time and how much time I spend there.
I've decided to leave SLF. tbh I just have not participated much lately. This site is a fine community of people from whom I've learned a lot over the years but as I've scrolled the list of new posts over the past few months I just don't see that many that I connect even indirectly to living simply. The focus seems to have shifted, for SLF and for me. Rather than just become fodder for a future "whatever happened to..." post I will offer my many thanks for what I've learned here and to the many people I've met here, and wish you all a good year-end celebration and continued health, prosperity, and simplicity. I may check in in the future but that likely will be weeks/months away. This decision really is resonating with me. Be well."

I have no idea how "sites" became "votes." ��
