A few weeks ago, Adam told me that he had been locked out of this forum in about mid-September because a hacker took over his account. 

Then in spite of my attempts to persuade him to get his account back, he said that he did not want to go through the efforts, at least that was his then thinking from a few weeks ago...

But you may know Adam.. he can be a bit spontaneous and even equivocal, from time to time...  .
