Re: Simon Coulther

[John Earl <john.earl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Over the 10+ years that I have been associated with the Midrange-L, it  
has been thoughtful people like Simon who keep be coming back.

I never met Simon in person, but I would seldom pass up the  
opportunity to read one of his posts – regardless of the topic.  Simon  
was one of the bright lights on this board, and it saddens me to see  
that light dimmed.

In his honor, I will donate bits to the “ASCII Ribbon campaign against  
HTML E-Mail”
