There’s a similar listing for his posts. I’d like this thread to be along the lines of [The truly great threads in SDMB history](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=508687) but with a focus on **Master Wang-Ka** and his works.

What are your stand-out memories of this amazing poster’s contributions to SDMB?\*\*

Seriously, dude, none of us are blind, and most of us don’t need\*\* large type. **Those of us who do can increase our default font size, ourselves, just fine. You** don’t **need to** do it for us! \*\*Please, lay off the size tags. And go easier on the **bold tags** , too.

Thanks.

His last activity here was a few minutes after that last post. I see he maintained a blog until late 2010, but other than that I don’t know what happened to him.

I thought he was caught passing off other people’s stories as his own? Was that someone else? Did that even happen or am I imagining the whole thing?

That story/rumor does sound familiar, but I don’t remember where or from whom I saw it. No idea, of course, of its truth.
