Anyone heard from Alex?

Hi guys,

I was just thinking, Alex has been unusually quiet recently with his last post being over a month ago. That’s just not him at all!

I know he’d been having health issues recently, but can anyone throw any light on his current whereabouts or state of play?

On a brighter note, merry Christmas to you all

Glen sent me a PM 2 weeks ago as I asked the same question on a post , Alex is as well as to be expected and is looking forward to getting his rig up and running
He’s off line at present , over stepped the mark again

I hope he comes back on line after this temporary break

Alex was given a 2 week ban this time, on the 19th Nov.
The ban expired on the 3rd Dec.
So it’s Alex’s choice that he hasn’t logged back on again since 19th Nov.

If anyone communicates with him, please wish him a Merry Christmas from me.
But the TOS rules will be upheld on IIS.

I personally spoke with him and sent him a couple of texts just a few days ago, he is fine and seems content, however I know that he is in a place where reception is not that good.
I did wish him all the best for Christmas and that we were thinking of him and hope he is well.

I speak to Alex regularly, the last communication was last night. He is well (health wise) considering his situation, and his prognosis early this year. I know he has a few folks he maintains direct contact with.
He has said to me that he may not return to IIS, but I suspect once he has an image from his new gear, he might.
I am not his intermediary, so don't ask me. He decides.
