You think you're joking, but you're not

Fox hunts are practice for this. https://tamiamiarc.org/what-is-a-fox-hunt/ This was Rob's website. It's almost as old as the internet. And it shows. I wonder how long until it disappears. http://www.learnmorsecode.com/

Just pointed out how incongruous it looked at first glance, you know? Found that a bit funny in itself, no need to make any jokes. (At least for old codgers like me, who tend to read "fox hunt" as a bunch of posh Limeys clip-clopping around the countryside in red hunting coats, sipping "champers" held up to them on silver trays by their inferiors.) How about you put up a memorial to Rob? You could either pay for the site to remain up for a good while, or maybe (if it's somewhere too expensive) move it to some other (cheaper) place; since he won't be maintaining or expanding it, make it just a static record of what it's now, if it's in any way dynamic. Or, easier, just make sure it all gets archived on the Wayback Machine. -- Christian R.
