I don't think I've seen anyone else mention this, but this afternoon's mail
 brought a letter from The Home Shop with the following very sad news:

 "Dear Friends,

 It is with heavy hearts that we write to inform you that John Wilson has died.
He passed peacefully on January 27th at home surrounded by family."

 (The letter went on to say that The Home Shop will continue under the
 ownership of Eric Pintar.)

A online memorial page is available for John at:
