I said "Perhaps he has changed his name again."
Gurney's reply was "Not time to do that yet."
And then there were several messages saying that Gurney wasn't showing
up in this newsgroup or that the messages behind the headers had been
removed.

The "time has come", he is posting as "Edric" now. ;-)

So I gathered from other posts. However, there are no posts from anyone
called Edric in any of the regular haunts that I subscribe to.
