the last thing i would want is for something bad to have happened to him...however, when people are still talking with him on MSN, yahoo, etc, i cant help but think he is just jacking people...sorry, i have no trust for the man, from personal experience to watching what is happening to others here and the hunter's lair as well...
if you ask me, maybe vendor's need to let loved ones, friends, partners, whatever, know that they do this kind of thing, and show them how to get on or log on, and be able to tell us if something bad has happened...it is just a lack of responsibility on his part, even if something did bad happen, seriously doubt it though...
