   Some two-liner comments do not qualify as obituaries.

   In Fidonet, we have a long tradition of respecting our fallen heroes. They are not "losers and suckers" here. From the top of my head, I remember:

   Roy Witt (FNEWSW12)
   Joe Delahay (FNEWSY40)
   Bob Seaborn (FNEWSZ03)
   Robert Bashe (FNEWSZ50)
   Robert Nelson ((FNEWTA37)

   And finally, two and a half years ago:

   Holger Granholm  http://eljaco.se/files/fnews/FNEWTD07.ZIP

    ... where we contacted the family and even got a great article from his son. The ZC, the RC, the NC, and other sysops that had contacts with him contributed.

   His family asked for a copy of the Fidonews issue.

   This deteriorating respect is what saddens me. YMMV
