Just to let you know I had an email from Sauron recently - a former regular on the Wargamer, and an occasional visitor here.

He is in a very bad way with his health, and expecting to be admitted to hospital soon. He is very worried about his prognosis, as he has had gastric acid get into his lungs and intestines. He has even passed on my email to his best friend to let me know what happens, if he gets too ill to email - or worse...

I hope they can do something for him, but he is feeling very low at the moment, but I'm sure if he knew you guys were rooting for him it will improve his morale.

Boggit, thanks for the update. If you can, would you tell him that all the Grogs are rooting for him to pull through and reappear amongst us. Pass on our names and tell him that if there is anything we can do for him to please, please let us know. I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers.

Please do.

My thoughts and prayers go out to him. I'll ask my family to pray for him, too.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I'll email him, but I haven't heard from him for about a week since his health really deteriorated.

He sounded pretty depressed during the last few weeks. His mum died a couple of years ago (he was very close to her), and then his brother committed suicide last year, so his poor health has brought him very low. He's also had a lot of other crap to deal with in his personal life too, so I'm not surprised he's not posted for a while.

Anyway, I'll email him now, and hopefully he'll look up the forum. Thanks for your kind words.

Wow, poor guy.  I seem to recall Sauron has had health problems prior to this as well.  Yes?  No?

yes best wishes from me too. he somehow disappeared from my radar. but i remember that i had him categorized with the good guys back at wargamer. iirmc he was one that talked more about our hobby than flaming around and stuff.

Sad news.  Hope he gets better.  Or if that is not God's will that he die in a state of grace.
