Russ has always been very nice to me.
Back in the early days, when I was just learning Unix, and trying to
figure out UUCP, he helped me a great deal and was even willing at one
point to come over to my work place and show me how to set up parts of
it.
He's also the one who explained PGP to me. I didn't understand it,
but he tried.
Russ maintained the archives of the general conferences on M-Net for
years. I got a tape of them from him at one time, but the tape wasn't
readable, probably due to my lack of knowledge. Maybe someday, if he
still has his archives, I'll ask him if I can get a copy once again.

(Actually, Tod, I had the notion of donating a record of the early
days of Unix BBSing to academic researchers. I may yet, if I can
find the media before they disintegrate. While my effort and
foresight may be worth something, only my own works are mine to sell.)
Since I'm a procrastinator and I've been just plain busy, let me put
in my two cents about jep. He's taken one of the most soul-wrenching
things I could think of having to go through, and he has somehow
negotiated it without losing sight of what's important. In a world
of failures, he's a success in the way that arguably counts most.

Bru certainly has the gumption to stand up for what he believes in. Well done!
Not having had much (if any) contact with jep, I'd be lying if I said anything
good orbad about him, except to say he certainly seems, from this thread, to
be one of our most popular grexers.
Russ is a helpful, cool cat. I like the way he "moseys" everywhere. I just
wish he would spend more time in party, but maybe that's part of his appeal...

What makes "mary" an extremely wonderful person to grex is her willingness
to volunteer to take on tough nuts to crack, especially in the area of grex
accommodations, insurance, etc. grex couldn't go without the help of such
dedicated volunteers.

Mary does a nice job of puncturing inflated arguments, usually without getting
any of the mud on herself.

I think it's time we turned our attention to
that oh so lovable mynxcat. She'd probably
be uncomfortable nominating herself for
accolades so...
Let's hear some nice things about Sapna!

I find what Mary has to say is just about always worth reading and
considering. She's intelligent and has a much different perspective
than I do. She cares very much about people. If I were hospitalized,
she'd be the kind of person I'd want for a nurse.
Her loginid on M-Net was "chelsea". It remains one of my favorite all-
time loginids.

I love mary because she was the first face I saw after a surgery I
had. She was like an angel, she was so nice and sweet, even after I
puked on the doctor.

Mary is quite handy with the soft drinks and graham crackers when you're
feeling queasy. That, and she has about the most consistently sharply
pointed wit I know of, and never seems to miss her target. She's
diplomatic, persistent, and committed to her principles without being
closed-minded. If I ever have kids, I'd want them to adopt her as a role
model. (Plus I think she'd be hella fun for them as a stand-in gramma!)

Okay, now I'm going to put my foot down and *insist* we talk
about mynxcat. Please? ;-)
Thanks, all who commented. But the gramma thing was too cruel. ;-)

One does NOT defy Mary Remmers, lest one be subjected to gentle, warm-
hearted, kindly intended local nuclear attacks and the like.
I've never met Sapna, and don't know a great deal about her, other than
her postings about India and her creation of this item. This item says
a lot about her. It's a very nice item, and it's *working*; giving
people an opportunity to say lots of nice things about others. We
focus too much on non-people things sometimes. When we talk about
people, too often it's problems. Sapna has turned that around in this
item.
