For you old-timers from ASP, I have to mention Dick Bies.

Endless conversations, but his computer wouldn't parse images very well (VERY old days.)

Bought me my first 2oz tin of Penzance...

I got the impression he was regarded as a curmudgeon on the Newsgroup, but I think his heart was as soft as mine.

I like to stop and remember. Puts things in perspective.

If you smoke a pipe, you are my friend.

sure do. Found original ASP not long after getting 1st computer in around '01 (address sent me from Yahoo Pipesmokers2). Now I'm the only one still posting on regular basis. Some great un-moderated goings on on & off topic back then.

only for the curious:
