No. Monkey bite & ensuing vague neurological symptoms only.
Yeah, that's why the line about Gus having died of MS is sticking in my craw.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

I'm sure Gus, whoever/whatever/wherever he is, is thrilled that so much board time is being devoted to him.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I feel crazy virtuous for not really mentioning Gus to Annalee. I take minor victories where I can.
Then again, I've just been reading reaction to the pseuicide in B'cacy and Cindy's summary of his persona is very succinct, as well as tommy adding in the Midwest and car stuff.
The MS irritates me, and the Fast Eddie saying it was his basement irritates me.
At one point when Gus was online, I mentioned that tvtropes was down, and he came back and said that he rebooted the server, which he said was connected via a DSL line to his home.
The IP address of www.tvtropes.org is 69.4.98.212. The reverse of that is dal-broadband-static-gstraley.dsl.airstreamcomm.net, which indicates that it's a DSL connection going to someone named "gstraley" for an ISP in Wisconsin.
My god, I can't stop reading. Save me!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Fast Eddie saying it was his basement irritates me.
That part may technically be true, since I'm assuming Fast Eddie is Gus under another pseud.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm assuming Fast Eddie is Gus under another pseud.
Wait, were people assuming he *wasn't*? As soon as I read the article, I figured that "Fast Eddie" is really "Gus."
