Title: What happened to user SIGINT?
Post by: RexMundi 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!

Sure enough. Hope he is okay.

There is a webmaster email on his site. I will try dropping him a line.

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.

What a shame. He was one of the smartest guys on the block. Seem like I ran into him everywhere on the web.

I'm sorry to see this. I've had a few conversations with SIGINT over my relatively short time here. My condolences to his family and friends.
