I have learned this morning that one of our swappers has just suffered the
loss of his 21-yr-old son. He has informed me that a friend will be
completing his flies (a more meaningless commitment at this time I can't
imagine, but...); and consequently, he will be a bit late in getting his
flies to me. I will hold the swap pending those flies.

My condolences also, although I don't know who we are talking about, I
certainly (as all of us do) understand the sadness of loss. Losing
someone so young is horriffic.

I agree that posting here is not inappropriate, but in many ways, its
possibly unwise. If someone is in deep need of support or
encouragement, then its quite risky and even foolhardy to look for it
online, ROFF or otherwise. On the other hand, friendships here are
quite often real friendships IRL, and posting here is just another way
to discuss something in the open.
