What happened to user SIGINT?
« on: November 18, 2024, 0440 UTC »
I have always appreciated user SIGINT who logs many util stations regularly.  I haven't seen him here since July, I think.

Anyone hear anything about  him?

Thanks!

You never know... maybe a family matter he had to take care of or something popped up with his health.  Hope he is ok too!

No reply so I searched a little more based upon his name and map grid. Sadly he has passed away.
