Gimpineer (was: Remove from list)

[Christopher Hoffman <imperial67@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am with Dick (as usual) on this. I only knew "gimpineer" as "4-Toes" and
even though I saved numerous messages from him and corresponded occasionally
on the side with him, I never knew his name, but I did know him to be a
helpful, knowledgeable and friendly person.

Perhaps now is a time to say a quiet thanks not only to 4-Toes (and to send
our thoughts to his family, if they are still reading these messages), but
to all of the people here who contribute their knowledge, time and
friendship to the community of the IML.

Life's too short for negativity of any kind, and while some of it is
unavoidable in life and serves to build character and make us appreciate all
that is good, here is a quiet reminder from one of our own who has left us
that our time is better spent enjoying life and helping others do the same.
On that note, it is nice to see that the general friendly tone of the IML
has returned in full swing lately.

May the road be forever smooth for 4-Toes, may his family find comfort in
knowing he had numerous unspoken friends, and may all us go forward with a
little more appreciation of what we have in the here and now.

Thanks to all my friends on the IML for all you do to make my life more
enjoyable...
