 =( Sad to hear that.

Edit: I can't even remember the last time he posted (been a few years?) but his quote has been in my sigline for a long time so I think of him often.

Heard about it on another board.  Great loss.  Since he hadn't posted for a while, I guess some of the newer folks had never heard of him.

RIP, Standing Wolf.

“Fear of death increases in exact proportion to increase in wealth,” Hemingway once said. Today, many of us have become rich in the currency of cowardice. We have so many things and so few experiences. We are desperate to live as long as possible, not as large as possible. We are so afraid to say goodbye to the world that we never say hello.

He was a long history poster on THR, APS and probably other boards. Didn't know him personally, but always liked his personality. My thoughts are with him.

He was one of my favorite members, back when he was still active here.

RIP. I definitely missed his contributions after he left.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Sorry to see him go. He didn't usually have a whole lot to say (but he did say it often) but, when he did, it was pretty good stuff.

Condolences to his family.  RIP Standing Wolf.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
