I would like to mention Xamkou.
Thanks for the link wcote. CC was a great guy and although I didn't really chat to him much personally when I was around and modding, he was always there giving sound educated advice. What a loss to BL and, indeed, the World.
Score, I'm truly sorry to hear about your father. Words cannot begin to express how you must Ben feeling right now. Was he an old man? Not that it matters, I suppose. If you would like to chat please feel free to send me a PM.
