I just caught myself wondering why you've posted this in "Insider News" instead of the Lounge. 
Dave tried (and failed) to become a politician, and was instructed to avoid sites like this after his comments about travellers on Farcebook caused some controversy. He popped up again in QA a couple of months ago, but quickly disappeared again.
Nagy is busy posting rubbish on Twatter drinking gin working, and only pops in occasionally to say hello.

It was in The Lounge[^] not too long ago.

Just noticed it was also posted by Walt!

I must confess, that while I had many enjoyable exchanges with DD on CP, I was a little bit glad his attempt to break into politics failed, as we have almost diametrically opposed views on many subjects.
I wish him well though in all other endeavours (in case he lurks occasionally).

Of all things Dalek Dave has become an actor. According to his FB postings he's getting quite good and landing parts here and there.

Surprised little bit. I checked trivia & found that 30 years as an accountant. But he's here for more than 10 years so it should be 20 years

DD was working as a bean counter while here.
I don't recall if he was working somewhere small enough to also have been the computer person, or was just an overgrown excel macro. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

DD is being kept up-to-date by @originalgriff and myself through Anti-Twitter in our respective signature.
I only have a signature in order to let @DalekDave follow my posts.
