Re: What happened to the PC security site "PC Flank"? I think Randy used to hang out at Wilders or Castle Cops after leaving here, possibly some of the vendor specific websites.
But I must admit I haven't run across him myself in years.
Name Game (if he's still about) is another who might know where to find Randy.

I've just searched Wilders (it's years since I was last there) and the user name "Randy Bell" can't be found so he either used another name or wasn't a member.
I hope he's well. He was one of a group of people on here whose opinions and advice I always take heed of.
I'm sure I've seen Name Game on here this year.

Reston, VA | Okay, that's a bit of a memory jogger. Think it must have been Castle Cops. Didn't they host a Norton forum for a bit? Still, there was somewhere else he used to hang about, I just can't recall where.
I think Randy and I spent most of our time arguing about NIS and NPF (with varying degrees of civility) back in the old days, but I did used to hear from him thereafter.

Randy is definitely a member at Wilders:
see the thread about the forum staff, scroll down to forum helpers
»www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=249
He was last seen there at 12 Sept 2008.
Randy is also global mod at the TH forum.

I know why he left DSLR.
It has been awhile ago since I had private contact with him.
Cheers, Jan. |

Reston, VA | Okay, based on that, I would say check with the senior mods at those two forums (preferably privately) and try to locate him.
Well, let me explain why I say do it that way. Over the last decade, I've seen a number of people 'disappear' and some have had medical problems that they don't care to share will the world at large. (And some of them were very dear to me.) If that's the problem here (and I hope it isn't), one of these senior mods is likely to be able to give you some insight and let you know if they'd still like to keep in touch.
I honestly don't know if this is true in Randy's case, but I would suggest you respect his right to privacy if that's what he wishes. Probably best to take these queries offline now, until you can get some more information.

I remember his posts and I remember him as being a very helpful and knowledgable person (I can't say I remember any of the more heated discussions though) and was curious as to why he disappeared; thankfully it doesn't sound like it was due to ill-health.
If it was his choice to leave then that is fair enough and if he would prefer the reason to be kept quiet I'm certain that those who know will respect his wishes.

Reston, VA | Normally, I'd just offer to stuff him in my suitcase and bring him over with me, but I'm already close to the weight limit (and Randy probably wouldn't appreciate the thought anyway).
