Likely keep reading the Board. I think if nothing else he had a strong interest in reading the topics in GQ.
As this is turning into something of a wake . . . I know the emphasis is on his contribution to GQ, but what I’ll miss is his drive-by non-sequiturs elsewhere. Often these would have a 1960s/70s ‘Austin Powers Guide to Babes and Dating’ quality about them that was genuinely amusing.
Saw a photo of him once, a really strikingly good-looking guy.
It’s a shame he couldn’t keep out of GQ. Seen it before, though, on this board. Almost like a compulsion . . .
Take it easy, handy, and good luck.
It’s faster, but that’s probably because everyone went over to Fathom. Fathom had a record number of users today.
I just wonder how he’s going to break himself from his habit. I mean, from 15 or 16 posts a day to nothing, cold turkey? It conjures up images of a pale, emaciated handy puking into a bucket and valiantly fighting the urge to create a sock puppet so he can tell everyone about the newest sale on Dell’s website.
[minor hijack] See, this is why I’m terrified of posting in GQ. Not so much that I’d ever give out misinformation as that I’m afraid of the potential involvement in GQ trainwrecks.
I did ask a question there once and got very helpful, detailed answers…I hope. I assumed that everyone in GQ was posting factual and informed replies. Maybe not always, it seems.

GQ is the brain of the board. Without it, there’s no point.
You can’t really go wrong posting what you know, if you acknowledge the limitations of your knowledge. Net research can’t hurt either, especially if you do links.
Just being able to come up with a good question is half the battle.
No need to worry. We’ve all posted wrong stuff in GQ on occasion. It only turns into a trainwreck if, when someone else points out how wrong you were (and someone always does!), you adamantly refuse to acknowledge that you screwed up.
Everything’s hunky-dory if, on the other hand, you reply with something like, “Well, xyz, it turns out I was talking out of my ass, and you were right! Hey, everyone else, ignore what I posted. Nothing to see here. Move along!”
It also helps if you’re not sure about your info, but feel like it’s worth offering up nonetheless, if you provide some indication: “Well, I’m not absolutely sure about this, but I seem to recall that if you rotate the armature three times clockwise…”
it’s probably moot now, but would it have been feasible to warn him against posting in GQ (at all) instead? it might then have been easier for him to control his posts rather than toeing the line on a warning served perhaps years ago.
i’m not taking sides, just curious. he appears to be a long time member that really enjoy (or am really addicted) posting to the boards.
Unaboard. FFF. Usenet.
It’s four times counterclockwise, you idiot. Why don’t you stick to posting what you know about?!
Cite?
Oh, never mind, just go fuck yourself! I’ve been rotating armatures since you were in diapers, you dickwad, so I oughtta know what I’m talking about. Any moron who’s still using that old “four times counterclockwise” routine is such a pathetic loser. 
(for those of you who want to know how to start a trainwreck)
Earlyout !
You were warned about posting about clockwise things!
No more warnings!
I think it’s only two turns. That’s how I was taught. Just Google it, it will be there.
Ah, so you’re admitting that clockwise is correct! Gotcha ya!!
And it would appear that Q.E.D. is channeling. Saints preserve us.
Take the armature back to the store you purchased it from.
Why is that?
You armature isn’t network-capable, so you can’t do that.
Ah, memories.
Exodus.
Movement of Jah people?
I always pictured his SO covered in bandaids and splints.
