No. Im sure something that has no baring on your life has rubbed you the wrong way.
But on the simple fact that, the he is a member here should make a condolence an easy gesture.

I've seen posts from him and I think at one point he mentioned this might be happening. This was months ago, before my sabbatical. I just responded because I didn't want him to think nobody cared or was bothered. I made it very clear I have not been in that situation, thankfully, and hope never to be, but tried to draw on what small experience I had with my pets. I made it very clear too that I did not in any way intend to reduce his situation to that level, and that what I was posting clearly recognised the fact that it was nowhere close to the pain he must feel, but it was the best I could do.
I certainly hope he didn't take offence. But losing your pet can be almost as heartwrenching as losing a family member. Those of you without pets will laugh and not understand, those of you who have pets --- and who have lost them --- will know where I'm coming from.
