no offense... but it's old news, and a great loss to us. Helmut got ticked off because of what he thought was too many pro-American, pro-war "propaganda pieces"... and got even more ticked when he was reminded, not very politely by some, that if he didn't like it nobody was forcing him to look. Basically, he threw the "I'm taking my ball and going home" temper tantrum. Pity... he's an excellent modeller and artist. at least, that was my take on the whole thing.
