Well . . . first we need to find out if Sam is alive. Sam, are you out there?!?!? HELLO?!?!?
Personally, I'm not into begging, but I am into "bugging" and I think if we "bugged" the crap out of Sam he would capitulate. A pre-1945 helicopter thread is an excellent suggestion and it merits continually "bugging" Sam.
Looks like he hasn't posted since early on Tuesday.
