Re: Simon Coulther

What a loss for us all.

I had the joy of meeting Simon when he visited Ireland on "walkabout" a 
few years ago. His passion for the platform and his incredible knowledge 
were even more incedible in person then they were in his many 
contributions to these lists.

He helped me many, many times off list - especially with some pesky C 
programs.

But more importantly, I am so proud to have counted Simon amongst my 
friends.

Truly, g'day mate.
