JKH Posted March 1, 2022 Posted March 1, 2022 Do you have a link for this? Very sad to see it, hoped he would be around much longer. He was kind to anyone searching for knowledge and generous with his experience. I always wanted to read the books he didn't get to. Hope the BFF will see fit to not retire his username, or disappear his forum history. Not sure how that works, but it would be a shame to lose all that wisdom. JMO. 1
