I learned of this early on, but have been hurting so much I didn't even feel up to opening this thread until today.

Spaw, I never met you, but you were the first to greet me when I (finally) joined up, and I felt close to you for that and many other reasons, including some you never knew. Or maybe you did; I can't say -- you were very canny, though you hid it well betimes.

Anyway goodbye, old friend I never met. The old homestead won't be the same without you. Fear no more.
