Ouch... okay, after I finished looking at all the stuff (I've never seen that site) I read the news... I hurt...lots. Both my grandfather and my uncle died of that...it's a terrible illness...If he just got diagnosed he still has plenty of time, and the way he's taking it is good but it's still a huge upset for me to find this out about the author who in the past six+ months has hit the list of my all time favorite authors.
I am however overjoyed to see the site, and all it's pratchetty goodness, and for that especially I thank you for the link.
