That you found your lovely wife. That you fought cancer and survived. That you came out the other end after all that and still retired in a nice home, with a lovely wife, and enjoy still what you do. The fact that you still post on GFY and take abuse, when clearly you have been there done that, got the teeshirt, is amazing, cos I wouldn't do it.

There really aren't very many people in this industry that are of your age that have done what you have done. I'd like to ask every single one of your haters how they see themselves at retirement age, cos I doubt a fraction would ever be where you are when they get there.

To you sir, I bow my hat.

Doing puzzles isn't for me, but shit, I've got 30 yrs yet to get to enjoy it!!

Now flame on in the piracy shit!!
Great post.
While I may or may not agree with some of Paul's ideas posted on this board, I have nothing but admiration for his personal history and his attitude, and I am actually a fan. Geez, I was even thinking to setup a fanclub (and no irony here...)
