Although I have never personally communicated with Nutildah, I consider this event to be good news. I am glad that such experienced old forum members do not leave this forum forever and come back. Otherwise, it would be an irreplaceable loss for bitcointalk. And so, there are chances that Nutildah will be active again, which will only make this community stronger.
I hope that Nutildah will pay attention to the fact that people are still checking his profile for updates. Is this not confirmation that "forum" are waiting for his return and he is needed here.
I would like to believe that such a long pause did him good and gave him fresh strength.
