A great guy and poster, Q.E.D. {RIP}

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
61

I’m very, very saddened by this news. For several years, Q.E.D. was a valued member of the SDSAB, and his contributions will certainly live on. I didn’t do a thorough search, but I read through a sampling in his memory and honour:

Is playing the electric guitar dangerous?

Why do fluorescent lights buzz?

Is poking a knife into the toaster really dangerous?

How does a touch-lamp work?

What keeps microwave radiation from leaking out the oven door?

Is heavy water dangerous?

How does closed captioning work?

How are microwaves in ovens different from those in cell phones?

Do microwaves cook from the inside out?

How do radar guns work?

Thanks for doing that, xash. :slight_smile:

63

This shocks me.

QED probably would have enjoyed that. :slight_smile:

64

This is the second thread this morning that I thought was a joke. Neither turned out to be jokes, neither were at all funny.

May the Lord have mercy on him.

Regards,
Shodan

Damn. :frowning:

Who knew that being a Doper was almost as likely to kill you as being engaged to one of the Cartwright boys?

A bad year, indeed!

My condolences to his family.

66

Rip, Q. E. D.

67

I’m very sorry…my sincerest condolences to his loved ones.

I’m also sorry about how he was treated online, even though he seemed to give as much as he got, as BottledBlondJeanie said.

68

Sorry to hear this, I knew he’d been around the board for a long time.

69

What very sad news. :frowning:

I always enjoyed reading QED’s posts, even when he was at his most cantakerous. He was The Dope personified - opinionated, informative, witty and well-spoken.

It’s sad to know there won’t be any more posts from him. I always hoped he’d eventually come back. :frowning:

71

This is some very sad news. I feel bad for his family.

72

He was only 44? Wow.
I’m so sorry to hear that – my condolences to his loved ones.

73

Thank you for that, Dex.
He will be missed.

74

44 is so young.

My condolences to his family.

75

The man helped me use physics to totally wreck an old microwave.

:frowning:

76

Man, this is sad news, like a lot of other posters Q.E.D. was one of the reasons I stuck around and lurked so long he always had something interesting to say.

77

Dang it, way too young to leave.

Rest in peace, Mike.

78

Ahhh, dammit…far, far too young. Find peace, Q.E.D..

79

R.i.p. :frowning:

EDIT: All caps ain’t working.

My condolences to his family and friends. He was a great Doper and is missed already.
