Silvanik - don’t take it personally, I likewise am getting dead air. But, I have a report that Rob is alive and well and will soon be back in the saddle.
You might like the back story. Lexington is a medium sized city on a limestone savanah. Going east the Bluegrass Savanah gets rough and hilly toward the Cumberland Plateau, the western foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Several years ago Rob bought an old hill farm in the knobs with a hunting cabin where he spends his private. It's now deer hunding season in Kentucky, and Jeremy reports that Rob is off hunting quite a bit lately. Jeremy is the son of Walter Kling, who co-founded Thiel Audio, was part of the communal undertakings in the beginning as well as my replacement in the later years. Jeremy grew up in the company and worked there on and off including juggling alligators at the bitter end. Jeremy says that Rob is alive and well and he’ll let him know that we’re looking for him.
Take care.
