    Such a gentleman. One of my fond memories is that he once messaged me many years ago to ask if I had experienced sexism on the site....I almost choked on my tea :56:Naturally I gave a measured response :52: We really did have some laughs back then and some of the threads were just unforgettable :celt_2:

    Heart sank when I saw the thread title.

    I can’t speak highly enough of Alec. When I was about 15 years old I was on here and was deeply struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts. Alec gave me advice privately and talked with me almost daily for quite a while. As a kid it was incredibly difficult to open up like that in real life and it was so much easier to have someone like Alec there to talk to almost anonymously. He eventually got me to see that it was a good idea to talk to my mother about how I was feeling and taking that step helped me enormously.

    I thought you all would like to hear that story about the character of the man.

    I’ll miss you mate and thank you for being there for me :shamrock:

    Awful news, Alec was a gem of a guy.
