Jon, I also received a PM from dear Mactee today telling me that he is leaving the site and forum due to health issues. Among the things he told me was:
"Please give my regards to all of my good forumites and let them know that I will truly miss all of them."
Please get better my dear friend, and re-join the site and your loved one's here in the forum when you are feeling better. I love you and will miss your gentle presence here very much.
