True, he could have moved. However, hidethereal still could not be ElectricSavant. Both the style (English language usage patterns) and the content (trading stocks and metals, etc.) of htr's posts are far too different from ES's. The "Michael B." signature is clearly a red herring... what's the point in changing your handle, but continuing to sign your well-known real name / initial at times?
He's rather old & overweight- A high risk factor for serious illness. I'm afraid severe health problems are likely to be the cause of his disappearance.
Really? I thought he was about 48 or so, and hit the gym regularly. Seriously, I think I read that somewhere here at ET.
I dunno, really. Maybe we're both right. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1055046&highlight=weight#post1055046 http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1133262&highlight=weigh#post1133262
He changed his handle and is now trading the Hershey's Future method. You can see his occasional post there.
