santeewelding?

Over the years, his choice of words made me smile, frown, laugh, curse, reflect, research, and even ask 'wtf?', sometimes all in the same post. Trying to understand his posts made me think. I'll probably miss that most of all.

If wealth could be measured by the number of lives touched, Richard was a very wealthy man.

My sincerest condolences to you and the family.

May your memories of your brother be a blessing to you.

The very best to you and yours.

however due to a bug I would submit that his number is somewhat larger, when you start a discussion your first post is not recorded and Santee started quite a number of discussions, for example Soni's TR Community scoreboard for November 18, 2011, when you go to her list of posts it does not appear;
https://www.techrepublic.com/members/discussions/598322?tag=mantle_skin;content

Her post to that thread, "early to bed, early to rise" does show in her list of posts, I should think that all of your posts, including starting a discussion should be listed.

I had noticed it with Q&A stuff, but I didn't consider if it extends to normal discussions. What a boob I am :D
We should probably get that fixed... who should we lean on this time? ;)

I certainly expect people to take breaks from their blogs or abandon them. My, er, curiosity was heightened because I wasn't seeing you anywhere. But you did turn up in the comments here - I certainly knew you were around by the time of the "guns at work" thread - so I just figured you were on a break. Yet I was still very curious why there were no further articles at TR, the answer to which was made clear to me in an earlier post.

But it looks like you can post links again. You're right, though. Someone should pick a method, or what is allowed and what isn't, and stick to it.

BTW, blockquotes are now
[pre] [q] [/q] or [quote] [/quote] [/pre]
for "quote" and "blockquote", respectively.

edit: And look on in wonder as the pre tag fails yet again...

Just imagine the brackets and all, "q" and "quote" are the relevant tags. Or you can look at the mess in View Source and imagine the angle brackets are square brackets.

Thanks for sharing this image with us.

I'd like to offer my condolences to you as well. Take care.

VERY early in your brother's time here, i caught his astoundingly transparent within the range of what he expressly wished to convey and that which he gifted to us all... enigma intact.

I remember him as a "Star Belly Sneech", recalling that he could love those "who had none upon thars".

More importantly, I recall him as my friend.

I will never forget that he told me- years ago- that I was easy to love. I hold that dear to me.

I hold you and your family in prayer. So little for so great. Still, all that I have.

On the grounds that it will Incriminate me. :p

Maybe TR won't parse out code within code tags (as opposed to pre tags).

It doesn't really matter, I guess. In the end, I'm likely to just use plain text with reference to anything that requires (for instance) formatted code on some other site, or to have discussions about such things on other sites in the first place. When I can't count on what I write being legible from one month to the next, my enthusiasm for writing it quickly withers and dies.

In hindsight, I realize there were many signs.
He set his affairs in order.
Making things easier for his next of kin, I imagine, reducing the amount of stuff they'd have to handle, afterwards.
He even dropped a hint or two, here.
He would occasionally call me prescient, but I didn't see it... or I saw, but I didn't understand.

Do you remember when he posted this?

For Santeewelding, who wrote with amazing grace.

I see what you did there.

It works from a distance, but up close I had to squint [i]really[/i] hard. :^0
