Hi guys, I'm in touch with Baz regularly via facebook and I forwarded on to him this thread. It's wonderful that people here care enough to inquire when people go missing here isn't it. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
So here's a message back from him which he's asked me to send onto you guys here.
From Baz ...
"I have had to make a lot of changes in my life and keeping up with forums is currently low on the priority list. I have met and interacted with a lot of VERY kind and wonderful people on IIS and should they wish to contact me, they are more than welcome to through the contact page on my website. Most of the ones who wanted to keep in touch are Facebook friends anyway. They can friend request me there also if they want to say in touch."
