This is what I was in the middle of posting when the thread became invalid:

...That was one of the most touching and powerful posts I've ever read on this board. Excellent Eulogy UT! I hope it was not in vain.

Facts are still sparse and there are a lot of holes to fill in this story...Whatever the outcome! I just hope that he has not taken us for a bunch of fools.

One question, UT. While you were steadfastedly typing and researching, did you happen to catch the other thread that emerged?

Dead or nor. Still Sad!

BajaDaze I agree that was a unreal post!!!!! I hope that there is some explantation for this that is not what it seems.

Baja Daze - All the posts this morning touched me, so I read his previous posts and typed the eulogy. After posting I caught Mike’s thread and decided to delete mine until the dust settles. Damn, this is weird!

Very wierd, indeed.
Nonetheless, that was a very sincere and heartfelt piece you wrote...

...I hope for the sake of the board's members and our warm outpouring of support and well-wishing, we have not been deceived.

If there was any shread of decency left in the perpetrators of this trickery, I would hope for at least some clarification...

What about HTM's thread?

It's still there, Cord.

It got a sticky, so it's at the top...I, too, thought for the longest time that it had disappeared...
