ummm, he's been gone 3 years now. 

What? So we just give up? I agree that the likelihood that he is still on the fence is slim, but we need to try.
I'm serious. What? Did this guy get really POed and leave? 
Who knows? Right now we can’t be too concerned with the motive. I am in damage control mode now trying to salvage this thing before it’s too late. Time is of the essence. Stay focused please.
