>And when was the last time Mr Van Vliet posted anything?

well, a little while ago I asked him when the next part of Bubblegum Zone would be finished. He answered that real life was getting in the way a lot, but he would try and take the time to update his page. But nothing happened since then.
I'm dying to read the next part of BGZ.
