I do want to second Darkness' opinion here (not like he needs it, but sometimes it seems to take two or more posts from moderators before some people see them).
ENWorld is a community, with only a few specific rules laid out. None of those rules have been broken in this thread. Therefore, if it is a topic of no interest, and it has not broken any of the rules (and we keep track of this thread like all the others), then there is no compelling reason to read it (just like I used to ignore the "Sultans of Smack" threads before I became a mod). It brings some people interest, and they aren't me, so I leave 'em be.
Ryan has been a member of ENWorld for a long, long time, and as such, people get to know him, and others, on these boards. This was never highlighted better for me than at Gencon; scores of people meeting, greeting, shaking hands, having NEVER seen each other face-to-face, yet chatting up topics as if they were friends since Kindergarten. In fact, until Ryan was diagnosed and had to cancel his trip, one of my highlights was going to be meeting him; he's an awesome person and a fantastic gamer (from the one time I gamed with him online), and I'm sorry he didn't make the trip.
It's the power of that community that kept it going when Eric had to close his doors, and Russ picked up suit. It's the power of that community that spawned a whole second forum community (now with 75% more nuts!) and it's what makes me love it so much. Established members leave, new ones come in - just like any other community, it keeps adding and changing, and I support it.
I apologize for the diversionary soapbox; carry on with the cyber-hugs!

Howandwhy99 is on the right track. I mentioned to my
ex-husband about how AB was doing. He used to be involved in the storage of laboratory data from AIDS research. He said to go look for AIDS drug trials in your area and see if you can into one. Good luck.
On a side note (and totally not to start an argument) can we please keep this post and all posts about Angelsboi's health free of people's opinions of what's right or wrong. I think that in this case, if your don't have something nice or supportive to say, please do not post. I, in my own life, have had enough of people not being supportive. Coming here, and seeing members of a community be good to another person because he's a good person to others is extremely refreshing. Thank you.

Ryan,
I think most of the people here do wish to be supportive of others, especially when they are going through rough times. For myself, if I am not interested in a thread, I ignore it -- rather than attack the subject of the thread or the person who started it. (I have seen this happen a few times on EN World and think it is wrong. If you are not interested in a thread like this, stay away. Of course, I think it is important to try to treat everyone with respect. No one likes to be considered a pariah.)
Hang in there. Think positive thoughts and use your support networks. Human life is precious to me as is human dignity.
Peace.
