Oh my god. Wizzo, no!!!

I have to say this is stunning to me. For a while there you seemed
like you were the one with the drive to actually get things done, and
make things better. But apparently you have other things to do. It
happens to the best of us.

RIP Wizzo. He was an hero, and doesn't afraid of anything.
