For those who are really interested in Eldar's future, check my last post on the other thread about him. And, BTW, I don't look at it as him "running out or what ever". I personally see it as the easiest way to"Let It Go!"
And that's what he seems to be doing, "Letting It Go!" And that's what I'll be doing.
Take care, Bill 
Did you and Eldar, the master of the k8 thunder, get into a spat?
I missed the tussle, what thread are you talking about? What the hen is he 'letting go' of...?
