" His life was gentle; and the elements
So mix'd in him that Nature might stand up
And say to all the world: This was a man! "


(Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Act V, Scene V)

I was looking forward to read more of his posts. After his last post in the other thread I found myself checking his profile every now and then, then clicking on "view recent posts" to see if by chance I missed one of his posts. But alas, there were none.

He said that he's old. 57 is not old.

Thank you Plaw, for your joyful spirit.
Thank you, for your words of wisdom.
Thank you, for sharing your massive knowledge with us.
Thank you, for your kindness and generosity.
Thank you, for being part of our lives.
