I hope he's ok.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

I put this at the beginning of the thread, too

UPDATE:

I have the sad task of announcing that Tommy, aDave and I have found some information which leads us to believe that JohnW has passed away. We are waiting for confirmation, but it appears to be so. Tommy will make a separate announcement soon.

I had many PMs with him about the contest. He was really enjoying it and was planning to do several new ones. He was very generous with a great sense of humor and imagination. He will be missed.
