I find it particularly...moving...that William Shatner has seen fit to post on this thread, and to offer to visit in person at Spaw's bedside! Few mortals have been granted such an honor, and even fewer mortals of the male gender. Mr Shatner had attempted to post here earlier but was blocked from doing so by...some anomaly...or...by deliberate conspiracy on the part of someone...I'm not sure which. It smells bad to me. Anyway, he sent the text to me and I posted it for him. He signed off as "Bill", an indication that he is embracing Spaw as a brother. This is particularly striking to me, given their past differences.

Hey, Pat, I'm pulling for you and so is Big Bill. With any luck, he WILL stop in and chat with you for a bit. Keepa you fingers crossed.

Seriously, man, I hope you are managing okay. People can't help but make all the usual stupid jokes, given your self-created history as official buffoon of the forum (in between the serious posts), but they do care. No doubt about it.
