I feel the need to put something to bed here as I see that some have not read the original post correctly, so here goes....
Gixxer, or Donal to those who know him well has NOT passed on.
Gixxer handed his account over (sit) on W7 to an american guy as he needed to resolve some personal issue's in real life.
Gix has every intention of returning to TW in the very near future.
Unfortunately, the guy who was sitting the account is the one who has passed on and he was a very decent guy too.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
LyX.
