| The parents of my 2 closest friends died in a tragic accident last week, so I'm feeling the loss personally. Pardon me if I've been moody lately.
Emotionally, its difficult to deal with, but if a tragedy like this were to happen in this tiny tiny market.. it could be one of our most core developers and could set things back years! 
My thoughts go out to Bill McEwen at this time as well. _________________

Hmmm. If it was because of some longer disease, it would serve as a good reason to stay out of court last autumn....
My cousin recently lost his 18 year old daughter who fought about five years against cancer...
(Life is precious ... and we ofthen spend load of it in fighting @ forums etc. What a waste.)
Anyway, I wish strength to those who have lost their loved ones ! _________________
