jetson on WP died

It is unclear if he killed himself, had a disease, or killed himself because he had a disease.

I was thinking we could build a memorial of copying all his posts here in a single thread, or is that not a good thing to do?  I just know eventually all his posts will get buried with time, it would be nice to immortalize them somewhere.  He had 1219 posts.  If we did 100 a day we could have it up in 12 days.\



His custom title was "The Map Maker."

I might be misremembering, but I think he had cancer or a similar terminal illness.

Whilst I understand your reasons for wanting to remember him through his posts, do you really think its appropriate to steal his words and repost them on a site that he never joined?  How do you know how he even felt about Intensity?  Perhaps reposting his words here would be the last thing he would want as a memorial.

Thanks PI,

I totally agree. This thread will be an excellent memorial to him on Intensity².

I never knew him or but I've seen his posts. I always feel lessened when someone commits suicide, for any reason. I hope that's not the case with him.

RIP, Jetson.

I'm confused, I was actually saying that I didn't agree with stealing his posts from another site and posting them on here, a site he never joined and I site that we don't know how he felt about. I understand people not wanting his posts to get buried on WP but that's going to happen here too eventually.

I think, we're on the 'same page', here. I would hate to see his posts stolen, too.
I meant that THIS thread (right here), would be sufficient as a way to honor his life.

Thats for explaining that- yes I don't think we need to steal his posts to remember him.

Ok, I will delete it-- that's why I asked, while it seemed ok to me, often my judgement on these issues isn't very good.
