I actually just spotted this elsewhere & was about to post it.

Apologies for spoiling the mood, but I just learned about the passing of Paul Panks, aka Dunric.

His website (recently moved from Geocities) remains up for now:

I might grab this & save it.

I've captured his sites - some cleaning up of links needed; once done I'll mirror them. He was pretty young, anyone know the cause of death ?

No, but I just received a thank you from his mother, Judy.
