    That's another cantankerous SOB that I think is a first-class human. lb taught me a lot about pianos and the business of making them. I hope he's doing well.

      Larry was the last of the great internet warriors. I'm sad to see he’s gone. He was always faithful to himself and to the things and ideas he believed to be true. A lot of us have softened over the years, but Larry never did.

      Larry was kind and loving in real life but he took his job on the internet in all seriousness. There were times I got along with him and times I didn’t, but I always appreciated him.

      May God welcome him into His arms.

        @Jolly

        Thank you Jolly and it's nice to say hello. We've all kind of grown up a bit together.

        I can't help but thinking of Larry up in heaven meeting God and finding out (by some off chance) that God's not a Dyed in the Wool, Blood of the Lamb, Baptist and then Larry sitting God down and quoting Him KJV chapter and verse explaining to God's why He's mistaken and why He should repent of his wrongful ways. That would be Larry.

              I just saw Dewey's essay about Larry's passing.

              What a rotten thing to do.

              Really cheap.

                        Back in the old days of Usenet, on RMMPM, he was SUCH a son of a bitch! He certainly never held back his opinions, to be sure. Frankly, I was, at first, a bit intimidated.

                        "Who needs this abuse?" I thought.

                        Well...there you go.

                                        The thing some people never figured out about Larry is that they were just mirror images of him. They never let it sink in that this is the internet. You are not forced to engage with anyone, your argument participation is strictly voluntary. They were every bit as determined to beat him as he was them.

                                        We used to have an ignore feature. More people should have used it.

                                          Not dead yet ! One foot in the grave 🙂 . Nothing to complain about. Good health and, still, bad English.

                                          Radu, I was just thinking of you - saw some of your old RMMP posts! Good to see you around.
