Allan passed away this morning.

I first learned about it at the Panda's Thumb where they posted the sad news.

May our memories of Allan (Winace) never fade.

May his legacy live on as a testament of his too short life.

What a bummer. WinAce goes all the way back to our old AOL chat room. He will be missed.

I messed up trying to register at his site. Can anyone send out condolences from the Staff and members of SFN?

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?

Unfortunate.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to the friends and family of WinAce.

He had a great outlook on life, and a great(imo) sense of humor. He'll be missed.

I have.

Bloody hell, this makes me feel ill...

I also posted in the same message that hopefully the beaurocrats may learn something from this, their self-contradictory rules did not help any.

What brought that on? this. Original posting here.

Another example of this guy's lunacy here.

Oooops, Sorry Ig. We both posted on behalf of SFN. I had to change my screen name to do it. Doesn't matter I guess. I feel so bad about WinAce... I'm glad you mentioned how far back he goes with us...

Same here.

We get an act of congress to "save" a woman with no cerebral cortex..... but a guy who wants desperately to live gets told to gdamn bad?

What country are we living in again?

I read the links, and this kind of story is disturbing. When one considers such a human example, it makes the problems with our current healthcare scenario- which are going to become more pronounced in years and decades to come- take on a more personal perspective, and the saddening nature of affairs involved becomes more "real" beyond the political worlds of statistics and budgets.

Alas, this is life. Wish I could've known him better.
Good by, Allen.
