Never a happy thing to hear, but better than never knowing, or moving into one of those threads where people forlornly @ you to only hear the faint humming of a PC. Strangely for me, I always associate her with her perky cat avatar (sadly they never participated in the cat avatar thread!) - which always made them feel sassy and snippy, which was 100% appropriate for how they could cut people in the occasional Pit thread. May all who know them find peace. ---

So sorry to hear this, but so glad to know. Too many prolific posters have simply stopped posting and we never know why. She will be sorely missed. ---

I don’t know that I ever interacted with her, but having been around here since 2000, I did read a lot of her posts over the years. I knew she’d had health issues but I didn’t know the details - I feel sad for her family and friends. This thread got me to thinking about Dopers who I’d actually met and who are now gone - it’s sobering. Our community is poorer for losing her. ---

> [@Spoons](#): > > Sad news. **Guin** was a mainstay. She was here for–what? Twenty years at least, if not more. I seem to recall her from when I originally signed up, 22 years ago. We interacted directly on a few occasions, but only a few. But even when we didn’t, I always took note of what she had to say–she was one of those posters whose views I always looked at and appreciated, even if I had no interest in the thread topic. > > Rest well, **Guin**. I can’t say it better than this. Another great has moved on forever. Peace to us all, including the departed. ---
