I think Paul is a lot like myself in that he has just got too busy to manage a website. I miss owning my website, but all the work....well, I don't miss that. When it was fun, I kept it up. Once it became a chore I had to let go of it to go for the things I enjoy most. My site no more compared to Paul's. But I did enjoy sharing the knowledge I had.
The thing I miss most is his monthly newsletter articles. I hovered over his site waiting for him to posts those every month. He's an excellent writer, photographer, and website designer.
