Kyle sucks

Kyle is a liar. The follow is a complete fabrication
This update is long overdue and has been put off up until now. I found out something that warranted an update by far. I'm a member of #relicchat on irc.relic.net, and I've been in there for a long time and made some very good friends. Friends that would help me out whenever I needed and friends that were always around to talk to. One of those friends was a young kid named Kyle. Kyle turned out to be a false name he used in order to protect his identity on irc, but he will always be Kyle to everyone in #relicchat. Kyle loved the XFiles, singing, and always seemed to have a smile on his face even though you couldn't see it through the monitor. We all had fun with Kyle, and chatted every now and then with him. Recently it came to our attention by a notice from Kyle that he had AIDS, and had had it most of his life. Noone had any problems with it, and we were all ready to back him up if someone else did. Unfortunately Kyle did not come back on irc. The story we know is that he got pneumonia and ended up in the hospital. RioTeer talked with him and emailed everyone telling them that we would probably not see Kyle in #relicchat again. A few days later, we received an email from one of Kyle's cousin, telling us that he had passed away. The email is as follows:

*******
My name is Chris. I am one of "Kyle's" cousins. In order to try and keep this as easy as possible I will first explain "Kyle" and why I am e-mailing you and not Kyle's dad.
First. "Kyle Finucane" was not "Kyle's" real name. He chose that name as a cover. He has never released his real name online to anyone. Even on websites he had designed he refereed to himself as Kyle. His first name was really Robert. His last name is not Finucane, but I have been asked not to give it out. For the most part it's probably best if you just refer to him as Kyle still. It's less confusing and that’s how Kyle wanted it to be.
Kyle's dad is in to much stress to write this himself so he asked me to. Kyle died late Sunday afternoon. From what I understand Kyle only told you he had AIDS. Kyle had also contracted pneumonia. On Sunday it got to hard and Kyle passed away. On Saturday he had written this message to everyone:
"I don't really know how to start this guys. Well, you all know that I love and cherish you all like family. The times we have spent together have been fun filled and exciting for me. The way you all embraced me into your online lifes has always been very beneficial to me. I hope that you all will strive to be great people and please, don't..well..just remember when I'm gone I've always loved you all."
That's all I can understand of what he wrote. This account will be active for a few more days if you wish to send e-mail. and then nobody will be accessing it anymore. my entire family thanks you for being their for kyle.

We all miss Kyle and wish he was back with us. Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family. : ` (

As I said before, this was all a bunch of crap that Kyle decided to make up.
