This is sad. I hope both are OK.

Don did *a lot* to put the Motherlode on wheels, from which Celestia benefitted enormously. He was very enthusiast with the project and provided generous assistance to newcomers.

Despite his uncommon politeness, I recall he was treated unfairly a few times...

Yes, he did that... He did *all* the initial coding, the PHP stuff. Also, he??s a very nice person (though we often disagreed vehemently on ML development issues :roll: ).

As i recall, he had some health issues that forced him to quit Celestia, without going into detail. If that is his farm, it might not mean much - perhaps just a move to something easier... I really hope he??s ok, too.

You seem to know something about them. What happened. Why did they move away from this lonely place? Don's health?

I received an email on Christmas by Don, saying they are okay so far. He didn't tell anything about their home (and I didn't ask him).
