…with every breath I take, I will say a little prayer for Wally and his family. He means a lot to us here, though we can be of little solace to you in this, your time of need. We can, however, provide a veritable tidal wave of positive wishes and thoughts, a tsunami of good vibrations. Wishing you both Godspeed, Linda ---

Oy, I never really knew Wally, but from how often I see his name around here I almost feel like I do. Kinda makes me sorry I made fun of him. Oh well, I’m sure he had an even better sense of humor about it than I did. Good luck Wally. ---

Amy and family, I am very sorry about the fall. I have every confidence that he will be fine. He’s got 7,000 of the smartest people on the planet pulling for him, and me too! I am sure we can tilt the cosmic karma flow in his direction. If he needs some motivatation during recovery, just tell him that the biggest,baddest, meanest troll in the world has registered as space WallM7, reduced Coldfire, NTG and the rest of us to tears, and we need his help. God bless, Dave ---
