> How old is he now? I ask because I'm about 37 now (I forget). But when I started on these boards I was only... Not a first year... During honors... After some time out... Anyway... I was a lot younger... How old is he now? Retired? I don't know...I think retired is a good guess. I checked the Univ. of Chicago site and he doesn't show in the faculty directory. So he must have left for some reason, or else I'm not searching right.

> I miss Dinah a lot, too. She meant a lot to me. Her involvement, here. Her values / ethics. Which were a bit alien to me in some ways... But in other ways... Were pretty crucial for, uh, holding things together. I think. Her ability to post to... Make most people feel welcome. Feel heard. Feel part of things. Her kindness. Her caring. Her compassion.I really miss her too. A really special individual. I haven't given up hope that she'll drop back in someday.

> I don't know what I would have done without these boards and (all) the people who posted to them over the years. Before the internet got taken over by... Every 10 year old with an internet connection and the ability to copy-paste... By drug reps and other reps and pyramid schemes and so very (very very very very) much money to be made...

>Yeah, I miss the old days when it was non-commercial, and the people online were generally brighter than average. Seemingly kinder than average, too.
