Huh. I was actually thinking about him a few days ago. Is he still among the living?

I remember posting on PM about 15 years ago asking how to fix a mistake I kept making and he gently smacked me on the head and basically said just learn to do it right in the first place. Which was really the only good answer!

No, he died 2 years ago. The immense knowledge and skill that he shared with everyone remains an incredibly valuable archive and hopefully remains searchable for the indefinite future.
