I sent a PM to Portee this morning but no response so far.

Here it is:

Hey Portee
Dude I do hope that you are only pulling our collective dongs with your talk of health concerns and not actually feeling ill. The Ripple platoon troops are beginning to freak out that their beloved leader is A W L. Post something on the Hub quick before we send the St. Bernards with Ripple to dig you out of the blizzard.
