Thanks To The Gurus

While I am still able, I would like to express my sincere thanks to all of
the gurus, and otherwise just plain brilliant folks who lurk in this
newsgroup, for your tireless efforts in assisting the computing public.
Your knowledge and expertise never ceases to amaze me, and the more I learn,
the more I realize the magnitude of your contribution to computing public.

Without your support, the backlash would likely have overwhelmed the
manufacturer, and the world's richest man just might not be that. I can't
possible name all of the gurus...too old, the mind is slipping, but I know
that you know who you are and that you derive pleasure from helping others.
You deserve a bigger reward that this, but believe me, YOU ARE APPRECIATED!
Thanks to all; RIP Alex.

> RIP Alex.

Amen!

Others have told you that but I wanted to say that these newsgroups and
the forums he used are a much sadder place since it happened they lost a
lot of knowledge when they lost him.
