  Oscar Moore's PWA ( Person With Aids ) column in the Guardian gave us moving and informative insights into what it's like to live with the physical deterioration that Aids inevitably brings. Humane and witty and written with a tough-minded, dry humour, PWA proved to be a comfort to people, whether touched by illness or not. As Moore's postbag shows ...'You have talked about Aids without self-pity while continually reminding me of the important things in life that also make mine worth living' - V, Bristol. 'Thanks again for the humour you bring into our lives through your own frustrations and fears; maybe you can help us learn to appreciate and enjoy each moment of our lives, without the necessity to experience crisis' - T, Eastbourne. 'I have nothing in common with Oscar Moore. I'm writing to say 'Don't give in'. He won't, of course. He doesn't know how to' - E, Milton Keynes. 'Your fears, your vivid writing, your courage have given me great hope in the face of the ghastly, and seemingly unfair, experiences and symptoms we share. I hope that many, like me, have been fortified and humbled by your joie de vivre and courage' - H, Exmouth.
