I just stumbled onto this, on the net:


We mourn, from respect, but also because we are confronted with our own
mortality. Bob lives on in the memory of those who read his works. No man
can ask for more.

Ditto.

Well, yeah, but many of us have reason enough to hope for a bit less.

Nobody erases it, it just disappears. Basically a capacity problem. A
fitting end perhaps?

Although, on the other hand, I have heard it said that hope springs eternal.
Must be from some perpetual bugger, as I can not otherwise see how he could
possibly know.

With the hope you were correct, I went on a cyber journey. Here are some fun
facts about ROFF according to Google:

1) First post was on 5/17/1994 by Jack Kramer. Yes, it's still on record. That
means the Penns clave will represent a decade of roff. Sounds like a hat/t-shirt
saying if I ever saw it. I'd like to be the first to suggest "Can you believe
there have been ten years of this ****?"
2) First current roffian to post, 5/17/1994, Dave Bottom.
3) First flame war on 5/18/1994 in a thread regarding C&R, amongst other stated
opinions, started by Tbone Tim Walker.

Happy birthday roff, you ol' dog.

Wow, and I'm still here in lurk mode, since day 1 apparently.
