Point taken, Paul...but if nothing else, it felt good doing it.
By the way, if anyone here is interested and hasn't already seen it, I
eulogized Andreas in a post you can find on the moderated newsgroup, as well
as the forums on jmsnews.com and b5tv.com. Or, you can see it on my blog:
http://amysetsyoustraight.blogspot.com/
It's my meagre attempt to mitigate for all the news items I've seen this week
that only talk about "the lizard-like ambassador G'Kar" and "the one-armed
man." I thought there should be something out there that acknowledged the
rest of Andreas's career, and what kind of a man he was.
