   In reality that is only the story we're now being told. Original we   
   were told he quit. The only people who know the truth are those who   
   were involved.   
      
   Not "everybody" kenw at all ... I can't say he bothered to tell any of   
   the fans for a start. The fans invest their time watching the show only   
   to be kicked in the teeth by his selfish "I'm gone" attitude. Whether   
   he quit or left is irrelevant, he's still extremely selfish (or stupid)   
   to sign on to a continuing series for only one season ... the only   
   people are possibly even more stupid were those in charge who (may   
   have) let him actually do that.
