Cookie and I have had some good banter over the last couple of years and, as I'm sure many of us do, I have come to look on him as more a friend than just a 'top poster'. Noticing that he had stopped posting, and getting a hint that all was really not well, I sent him a PM a few days ago to which I got a reply.
So hang in there buddy! Fight it all the way, because your advice and insights are sorely missed here. And, although private man that you are, please keep us up to date on the situation or at least allow WF to do so.
Sincerely, my thoughts are with you.
John

Re: Our Dear Friend Cookie
I know this guy that walked into a chat room... I'm praying for him and his family. It's funny 'cause I never really met him, yet I feel he's like a brother. A bunch of us here share something many don't understand, and we hate to see you down. Fight like an SOB Bro. you mean a lot to us. Ric
thanks for sharing WF.
