I too have missed Panache's contributions here. He has been a member almost as long as I have and has always been an online friend. I have never met him in person as we live on opposite coasts, but look forward to the day when we do meet. I may not have always agreed with all his positions and decisions during his time as a moderator, but I always liked and respected him - that's how it works when your friends. His posts were always either informative or entertaining, sometimes both. His stories inspired me to hit the keyboard and write my own.

I do hope that whatever unpleasantness that happened is resolved and he can again feel comfortable returning to the forum. We miss him.
