He came over, and then later left after some personal dust-ups

Self-inflicted and completely inexplicably, I will add.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I thought he was channeling Von Moltke to win the contest.

To be fair- Cobb has a lot on his plate when away from the keyboard.

I know he retired from teaching.  I'm sure that opened up a little time.

Did he have salad on his plate?

I'm well aware of that. However, I stand by my characterization.

I try to read Jim Cobb's game reviews wherever they come out.  He can write and has extensive historical and game knowledge.

My personal experience was that Jim was always a reasonable guy on the forums.

Fair enough. Just adding a little background for the rest.

OK, I just wasted five minutes of my life trying to write an explanation of something that ultimately needs no further elaboration. I'm sure the PM's are long gone and there's no use dwelling on the past.

Somebody wants to buy me a beer (even virtually) I might be coaxed into sharing the tale in a dark pub on a stormy night. Otherwise, let's move on and celebrate the successful relaunch of a favorite old haunt. I wish Wargamer the best.
