Oh, man. She was one of the defining personalities of the board, for me, and for many, I’m sure. I was just thinking the other day of something she wrote. Her posts always stuck with me - smart, well-worded, and brutally honest (even if to a fault sometimes). She gave me much to think about, and I will always be grateful to her for that. My condolences to her family and friends.

[QUOTE=Lynn Bodoni (circa 1999)]  
I was tempted. Oh, how I was tempted. But I saw that it had already generated some responses, and people were simply having too much fun for me to break up the party.

Copied and pasted, as she would have wished.

Sorry you had to leave the party, **Lynn**. Thanks for hosting all these years!
