Mark - what a thoughtful thing to post. It warmed my heart and brought back
many great memories. Valerie and I have lost a common interest. That's a
loss, but far from fatal. I hope and expect that her long friendship with
you and other Grexers will have lost no more than that. Thanks.

No, the incident I described was about Valerie.

I don't remember meeting Valerie. It just seems that she has always been a
part of the conferencing community in Ann Arbor, and was there from the
beginning.
I have always liked Valerie and respected her, both for her brilliance and for
her genuine concern for people's feelings and for doing the right thing
*because* it's the right thing.
I'm not sure what to say, except that, like Mark I never imagined Grex without
Valerie and I think the system will be infinitely poorer without her.

Valerie's responses were everywhere I looked when I first started using the
grex conferences. And she was one of the first grexers I met in person.

(Valerie resigned from staff and does not plan to be an active
participant on this system, but she has never said she will never come
here again. In any case, if the people posting here were interested
exclusively in talking to Valerie, they'd have used email instead.)

Valerie was one of the stars of M-Net and Grex. I remember her
from a bunch of meetings, including at my house. Let's hope
she will check in to Grex from time to time.

Valerie the grexer has become the Kurt Cobain of Grex. She chose to
have the entirety of her existence here colored and distorted by one
spasm of senseless destruction. She left her friends and fans without
even the proper means to remember her by, just a big mess to clean up.
