Blake doesn't know me - in fact, none of you do - and that's why I've deliberated for a couple of days over whether to write this or not. I've pretty much always preferred the possibility I'll regret the things I've done than the things I haven't, though, so here goes.
Blake, you've made such a difference to me without even knowing it. I've been lurking on these boards for months, trying to find hope, comfort and support wherever I can. I'm not a religious type, so I find that comfort in facts and figures, in science. I have sought out your posts and the wisdom you've shared, and you've helped, so much, with your ability to balance pragmatism with positivity, hope with common sense.
I've greatly appreciated your great intelligence and compassion, your sharp logic and dry humour, but what has amazed me most has been your bravery in the face of what must now seem the inevitable.
I can't do much more than thank you here, but I promise I will remember you. I only wish I'd had the chance to get to know you.0 -

Drum, please tell Blake for me that he truly helped me get over myself.
Like phil above Blake and I butted heads on a few issues. But as everyone knows he is well read and does his research (mainly to help others) Not to be a know it all like I originally thought. Blake didnt hold a grudge just stated the facts as he saw them.
I was hurting after my dad passed away a year ago 4/22/11 blake sent me a private message that simply said something like.
"sorry Bud love Blake" It instantly brought me to tears because he was so real. No BS this guy was the real deal. I havnt been on this site too much and just found out by reading this post that Blake is not doing well.
Blake from the heart ...............SORRY BUD LOVE TOM0 -
