I'm guessing that you are speaking of Taekwondoman previously known as
srdrake.  He actually unsubscribed from the list about then too.
I asked him a while ago if everything was OK.  Now I know we often joke
about geocaching being an obsession, but he said in his case that geocaching
was all he was doing and he needed to reclaim his life, so he went cold
turkey.
He did say that he checks the archived messages from time to time, so if you
see this and I have spoken incorrectly, please jump in and correct away.
