Just curious as he posted quite frequently here. I haven't seen any posts here or on his website for a couple years? I always enjoyed his tips and articles. Hopefully all is well with him.

He is a regular over on the Film and Darkroom User's forum (FADU), a UK based forum. He had had a mild heart attack a couple of months ago but has recovered and is getting back into the swing of things. He probably pokes his head in here from time to time.
I certainly can't recall seeing anything from Les on APUG for a long time. Whenever I do a search and it turns up about 100 threads you could bet your bottom dollar that there would be a Les post or more in most threads.
