I've heard the logo on the Forum has changed. I'm using the alternative skin, the one that looks like the old Forum. Here, the logo is still the X anniversary.

Maybe Wohey can update this skin, too?...

Ok, I just thought I'd mention it. The main Forum is always the page I see when login in, so that's ok.

I'm completely devastated by this news. Joe was a wonderful human being, a good friend, and a valuable member of our MTorg community. He will be missed indeed. :salute:

In addition to his lovely wife Hilary, Joe leaves behind his daughter Jennifer and his sixteen year old grandson, Jonathan. My deepest condolences to all his family. :(

I'd forgotten that he had gone to that as well.  I really wished I could have made it to that one, and now I really wish I had even more.

I've only just seen this news and I'm shocked.

What Joe didn't know about Leatherman just wasn't worth knowing, and whilst I never met him his online persona was that of a real gentleman.

A true loss.

RIP Joe - we'll miss you :(

I used to come here a lot.

He was indeed one of the best of us for sure.  I did meet him, and there was no difference between his online persona and the real Joe.

I miss him greatly.
