If this was Greg's last post..
..I'm whelmed. But there he Was:
Repairing someone else's work! (not so trivially as here) via voluntary labour, usually of complex kind.
Whatever the 'theys' ever paid him, (and upon my having read of those adventures)
My cumulative guess is, that he was never 'paid' ... what he was Worth: by the clueless or the well-aware.
(Ingratitude is as Murican as the rest of that list.)
Would that his transition of consciousness transcended the ever-popular null hypothesis.
And Freude now reigns.
(As with The Borg, any resistance to this thought is futile.)
