Many of you have read Ibo's message on http://www.caiman.us about Rudy's illness.
This has raised some questions and I don't want to give people false hope or start rumors. For this reason I have asked Rudy permission to tell you more about his current condition.
It fills me with great sadness to inform you that Rudy is terminally ill with lung cancer. It isn't known how much time he has, but his illness is too advance to allow him to recover. I've been told that he is at peace with this fact. He is currently stable and resting in hospital with his pain under control.
Answering e-mail is difficult for him and I'm mostly dependent on Ibo for information but I will do my best to keep you updated.
Rudy means a lot to many people around the world and if you would like to show your support you may do this here.
Updates to Caiman aren't as frequent as they used to be but I hope you will continue to visit and support Caiman for the time to come. Ibo will try and update the site when possible and me and the forum staff will do our part here.
Thank you for your support,
Dev
