I’m not going to play musical chairs with the thread title. If he has not passed away by tomorrow night or the next, I will change it then. Until then, however, things don’t look too good (God forbid, however…I hope he pulls through), so I’m going to leave it for now pending better news, because from everything I have heard and read, it doesn’t look good at all. Again, I hope I’m wrong.

I’ll change it tomorrow night or the next…or on the update of good news. Or another CS mod can change it if they want, I don’t mind.
