Please give him my warmest regards and suggest that should IWT ever recover from its long swoon, his contributions would certainly go a long way toward jacking up the initially feeble vital signs. He was one of the stars (cranky and contrarian—like you, box, only not such a self-consciously determined-to-be-an-asshole asshole, if you take my meaning) of the original group. We also gotta lure CRC back here: the "Flame Forum" has been more like the flicker forum since he's been gone.
cordially,
