Goodbye Legless
Sorry to share this news - from the email: "Hi B3ta. Bit of sad news, Joe Thompson aka Legless passed away last week. Thought you might want to post something, better coming from you instead of some random lurker. The funeral will be webcast. Whack it in /links for a suitably tasteless send off :)" If you want to leave a comment - stick it on the thread.
