Yep, I noticed that as well Alberts Growbag - what did they do, delete the thread and restart it again?
Rather interesting, really, because I tend to get rather bored of all the eulogising when someone kicks it - the "he was a right b'st@rd" comments are by far and away the most interesting ones and tend to add a third dimension to the "brilliant bloke will be sorely missed" template jobs.
If someone feels the need to add a tribute to such a thread, can they at least put in some interesting story about the person? That way, those of us that didn't know him/her will get an idea of what we missed.
Just a thought!
