Up until his death, even though he didn't post to cll, he was always very responsive to email and IRC questions.

Someone other than Erik might have a > good idea too. Stranger things have happened. Agreed. I think chances are still very good to get useful information by asking here. Nicolas

His contributions were many and substantial. It is true that he pissed off hordes of people, and frequently found himself at the center of prolonged and intense flamewars. I very much doubt that anything useful can result from a discussion of his conduct in these flamewars, so I will prefer that we put that issue aside. But if you concentrate on the good stuff there is plenty to be found. -- * Harald Hanche-Olsen <URL:http://www.math.ntnu.no/~hanche/> - It is undesirable to believe a proposition when there is no ground whatsoever for supposing it is true. -- Bertrand Russell
