That brought back old memories. I was at Heathrow the day it landed and went onboard for a look around. Cracking thread as well. :lol:

You mean you didn't take the time to absorb all the technical info?

Not a classic thread, but a personal favourite post, which I took to heart almost a year ago:)

His death has really brought it home to me that all you people out there are.... well...people. Its so easy to..... well you never stop knowing you are dealing with people, but it is easy to forget that they are people with feelings, and not just pixels of avatars, that even though we just communicate with type, that we are making connections. I am getting to the time in life when people around one do start to die, and I had never thought about that being online too. It just seems like a new aspect of life that I am not sure I am prepared for. I never quite understand my nephew who talks about his girlfriend online whom he has never met, but maybe I am getting a bit closer, as our relationships with people get more and more diverse, even with my parents, I know them as much online now as anything.

I think I am inarticulately trying to say that I am surprised that I am touched by the death of someone I have never met, but that I really should not be surprised, as he made his generosity of spirit clear with his words.

Another vote for this great post!

I was probably a day or two away from reaching the same conclusion myself. Fatbrit's passing has affected me more that I would ever have expected, and probably more that the death of anyone I have ever known. (Including my grandparents (though one grandfather died before I was born, and another when I was only six, one grandmother I was not close to, and the other suffered from dementia, and so her death was a blessing), and my father (who I did not see eye to eye with, though I later learned his testiness in his later years was likely a side effect of the heart condition that killed him).

Can we just go ahead now and award the "2013 Thread of the Year" to this one now, to save time waiting and the wasted effort of creating a pole to vote for it? :)

Agreed. I had come to rely on him being here, his principles came through the computer screen, we enjoyed some joint forays into some of the more mind-boggling threads on the forum, and in short, when considering the proverbial question of "would you go down a dark alley with him watching your back" the answer was "yes". Eight years of virtual sporadic companionship on this board seem to have amounted to something.

I am going to miss watching someone work themselves up into a frenzy with long winded posts, one after another, to then have FB cut them down to size in around 4 - 5 words.

RIP FB You don't have to worry about garden walls now.
