You seem to have an unnatural fixation with this "dex" chappie. My understanding of the matter is that he has ceased to be, is dead, no more, finito.....

If you wish to communicate your feelings about the matter, I have requested "friendship" via the click box thingy, after which time pm's will become available

Please point out the gramatical errors in the e-mail..
My education must be lacking as it looks ok to me.

However, language is a tool as indeed......
