Really? I saw him at the last Arisia convention in Boston, in January. 
They still looked pretty bad, but maybe I'm mistaking the physical 
distortions it's done for continuing painful crippling. They still look 
rather odd, though. This was at Chris Shuldiner's annual booze laden 
party, and RMS was wearing his disk platter halo at the time, and most 
folks were drunk, nad it was really crowded, so I can't say I spent 
significant time with him to discuss it.....
