Yes.  DKS has a lot on his plate right now and is taking care of the important stuff.

Glad to hear that he's taking care of first things first, but if it's enough to take him out of the loop to the extent that it has, it doesn't do much to assuage my worry.  Take care DKS, we're all pulling for you.

I assume DKS means no more work on NZT, and NOT no more work as in employed worker.

David *is* the NZT products.  As far as I know, it was a 1-man operation.  Or lets put it another way - David is the propriator of NZT.

Dave,

I wish you the best.

I don't think I know of another person who is an expert in THREE small scales.

Your work in T inspired me--- and I almost made a change to T.

David is one of the best, and I wish him nothing but the best.

I have been in communication with DKS. Firstly there was no mention of ending his pursuit of the Protomate so not to worry -as of yet. But he asks for privacy during this time. I'm sure he appreciates all of your concerns, you are like family to him. Although he would prefer you not, I might recommend that if you feel you have to send emails that you don't ask for anything, request when he will start production, or say anything that you would expect an answer back. He just wants his privacy respected.

We all want to see him back so let's just give him time. In my eyes the guy is a freaking genius and I miss working with him too. You know this guy loves modeling and sharing so when he's ready LOOK OUT!

Wishing the very best for DKS.
As I've said elsewhere, to me DKS is my generation's equivalent of John Allen. And although DKS may not necessitating be as widely published, his work stands as testament to the fact that he is every bit as good as the rest of the modeling legends.

I would like to second this suggestion.  When you're trying to break away to catch your breath, nothing is more frustrating than an endless stream of emails all asking something.

I'm sure David will be back with us in due time - the prophecy has foretold it. :tommann:

A superb artist. I've always been amazed at David's level of detail. Both from an "observing" aspect, (he see things we mere mortals don't) as well as his modeling prowess. Not to mention he's a track planning genius. And, therefore, an inspiration to many. Whatever you're going through, David, I wish you all the best.
