Sorry to bother and I do not even know if it could be against some written or spoken rule but does anybody knows why Russell removed from the forum?
I always considered his BBC basic a pinnacle among modern versions of BASIC and now it is sad there is no longer the possibility to ask him about it.
Any news about Richard Russell?

He removed himself. You can contact him via the email address on the BBC BASIC website: https://www.bbcbasic.co.uk/contact.html

Loved his work on the M&W colourisation "lost tapes" shown today.

Richard sadly removed himself from the board after a falling-out over the ACT Apricot thread, and self-removal was subsequently enabled. Unfortunately this means he will no longer be posting material to the 40 Years Ago thread despite that he still has much that he could have contributed.
Richard is still on the Raspberry Pi, Raspberry BASIC and The Distillery forums.

Re: Any news about Richard Russell?
Respectfully, that's not really an accurate description of what occurred, or reflection of what has gone before. I'm going to close this thread as the speculation isn't particularly helpful (genuinely nothing to hide here, it's just unfair to start discussing these things in public). We didn't wish for anyone to leave or ask anyone to leave. That said, we won't stand in the way of anyone who decides that they do want to leave.
