Out of the country at the moment but, thanks to a text from Toffer, the terrible news has reached me. So time stops for a while. For contemplation. A struggle to understand why it should be so true that only the good die young.

I hope that the positive messages of love and respect written here have some tiny incalculable salve to the pain of loss felt by those closest to him. For myself, I would want Amanda to know that I only knew Daz on this forum but that his amazing persona managed to completely transcend a limitation that few others could overcome. As a result, I felt like I knew him personally. When he PM,d me the other day about something, I felt like I had endorsement from common-sense central.
I wish I had met him. Obviously a great bloke.
