   Due to the fact that my newsreader could not reply to the OT thread   
   anymore because of a bug with the references header length, as well as   
   the fact that the thread was a permanent off-topic (and in my humble   
   opinion often circular) conversation between just a few people, I had   
   told my newsreader to ignore said OT thread.  By consequence, I did not   
   get to see the sad news about Adam's passing away, but seeing it   
   mentioned here made me look up on the thread via Google Groups.   
      
   Adam was my age, and although I was aware of his health problems, I   
   never thought he would actually succumb to them.  He certainly seemed   
   like a guy with a positive attitude towards life, and even towards his   
   frail health.   
      
   This is the second time now that I am witnessing the unexpected   
   disappearance of a familiar Usenet poster at the hands of the Grim   
   Reaper, and in this newsgroup.  The first one to unexpectedly pass away   
   was Blinky The Shark.   
      
   Therefore, I wish to convey my condolences, and my regret that this   
   newsgroup has yet lost another Good Guy ™.  Like Blinky, Adam will be   
   sadly missed.   
      
   I raise my glass to both of them.  Requiescat in pace.
