Matchlock silence

Jim McDougall · 21st November 2012, 02:56 AM

Michaels absence reveals clearly how instrumental he has been here in his constant and profound participation, and above all his selfless sharing of his lifes work in the study of medieval arms and armour. I join others here in missing him deeply and am anxious for his recovery and return.
We hope we can keep updates on his status here, and will make every effort to follow his always inspirational lead in keeping our discussions and entries progressive in the meantime.

Godspeed Michael, we are with you as always, recover well,

Jim

Sorry to hear about your troubles Michael.
Hope you are back to 'firing form' very soon!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

I wish to add my blessings for a sturdy recovery (I'm in healthcare, so I won't say 'speedy'). Please recuperate well, Michael. You have had a profound impact, as Jim said, on the direction of this forum. Your knowledge is a blessing to this forum (as many still research your old threads). Take care-
Mark

Michael, my sincerest wishes for a full and expeditious recovery. I am sure I speak for many when I say that your enviable knowledge, expertise and patient explanations are sorely missed and all the more noticeable by their absence from the Forum.
With Best Wishes,
Norman.

I hope his recovery goes as quickly and well as modern medicine can manage. The width and breadth of his knowledge is something that became redilly apparent in his posts, I would say proffessorial in scope. A speedy return to his contributions of his great knowledge is heartilly hoped for.

I may say that Michael is my teacher. Almost all my knowledge about early firearms is the knowledge given me by Michael. I hope it will be a full and fast recovery.
Michael, if You see these words please be strong. You are really... Really Good Man. We all need You
