I was truly stunned and saddened to hear that Xalir, much like my late friend Otto Hauser, died. My condolences to any of his loved ones reading this, of course. His writing style and mine were not necessarily the same, but I enjoyed and respected it. I conversed with him more than a few times, in fact, though only on this site.
May you find peace, my friend. You are missed.
Sincerely,
Mark
