I don't have all the email addresses and I wanted to make sure everyone knew:
On 7/30/2008, many of us got a message from Techsan’s email telling us of his untimely death. Hold onto your hats, kids.
I got a message from him yesterday. No, it wasn’t a séance. Our dear Ed is still with us.
For those of you who think it was all a cruel trick, let me assure you, he wasn’t faking his death. He was quite gone for a time. His illness continues and he struggles every day.
This is what happened, in his own words:
I can only imagine what the poor woman must have been going through. He went on to say that she went home that night completely anguished and began making phone calls. After calling the family and starting funeral arrangements, she opened his inbox and sent out the emails that we received.
But our Ed is a fighter. I’ve always said that some doctors give up too easily. He rallied, fought hard and managed to find his way back to the world of the living. After that, he spent what he called “nine miserable months” in three different hospitals before he was finally allowed to go home.
To say he is still having difficulty would be an understatement. As he said, he won’t be going back to editing any time soon. At present, he has only one hand for typing and it causes him pain.
Techsan asked me to send this information to you because he lost all his email contacts in the two years he’s been fighting to return to us. His worst fear right now is that he has disappointed everyone. If you’re like me, you’re grinning ear to ear knowing that our dear friend is still with us. I, for one, will cherish all he gives and be thankful.

It was not my intent to stop editing but ... quite unexpectedly I became hospitalized. At one time the doctors could not revive me and told my wife there was no hope…
