Terry Pratchett has Alzheimer's

Unhappy

Very Sad

I don't normally feel obliged to post here, I am happy being a lurker, but this time I have to say something.

For the Pratchett bashers - grow up! If you feel you can justify your use of oxygen on this planet by slagging off other peoples' life work then you are beyond contempt.

To Terry - one of the main reasons I persevered through months of brain stretching installing AmiTCP on my old A1200 all those years ago was to allow me to read Alt.fan.pratchett. I have bought and kept just about everything you have written (including the Unadulterated Cat) and you are probably the only author who can make me laugh out loud.

I also naively thought Terry would be writing forever and never considered the day I would not be waiting for the next fix of Pratchett wit. My best wishes to Terry and his family and may he entertain us all for many years to come.
