@Bella Dea,
I am with Walter.
The song left by Pete Jr. doesn't convince me....when I look at when he posted other songs (6 in total) on this profile, they all say "1 year ago", I'll look later when I get a chance.
Also, re: PM's. Again I agree with Walter. What he PM'd some people as a reason, even re the British Thread, may not have been the entire reason that was PM'd to others.
Pete had a way of making everyone feel special....dammit, I'm not going to say that...Pete HAS a way of making everyone feel special....but I do think he confided in some more than others. Isn't cjane close to him? I would think Francis also.
I always thought Penberthy was Ellpus...the writing style is exactly the same. If it was another person, they're a damned talented writer.
Bella, you said it right....I don't know whether to grieve.
