Title: 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.

I agree with PI on this.

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'm confused, .....
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.

Shima,

I think your heart is in the right place. Logic can't touch the heart.

I don't. I never knew the guy.

And why should this message board pay homage to a guy that hasn't even joined and interact with the members here? It's silly.

Because I don't trust alex.  At the first sign of controversy (we don't know exactly how jetson died remember) alex could zap his account like he zapped william freund's.  In that event all his posts would be lost.

Also: who here (other than me) is going to go through every single one of his posts?  If it were all collated in a single thread it would be simpler.

But yes, it is a somewhat nutty idea, I guess.
