You know who’d have something both gently funny and sensitive to say at a time like this when no one’s sure what to say? Autolycus. sigh
Like everyone else, I’ve delayed posting because I’m waiting to hear that it’s not true. I liked Autolycus, and hearing he is gone makes me very sad. If any of his family and friends (in addition to tdn) are reading this, please accept my condolences.
I know! I admired him for that! I long to be able to not let things faze me that much. Dude was hilarious.
Man, posting the past tense just feels awful. 
What a terrible thing. My sympathies to his family and friends. 
Aw. I know you and him were boys on the board. You guys had a connection. It was cool to watch; I peeped it.
Auto was one of those posters who had mastered the art of disagreeing with someone with utter class and grace. Loved that about him.
I don’t know him in real life…only in internet life, and in internet life, he was one of the coolest.
This is so sad.
This is so sad…
Very sad news. He will be missed.
Very sad news. RIP Auto.
I would like to note in passing that his last post here was well-read.
What he said.
That gave me a smile. I think that was a perfect last post for him. 
Oh, damn. He was awesome. tdn, my condolences to you and his friends and family.
Well this is a crappy thing to learn right after I wake up.
Aw, man. I’m sorry to hear this.
What?! This can’t be true. It’s awful.
Thank you for updating occasionally even when there’s nothing to update. I was hoping to see one that said, “Whoops, crazy story, but here’s how this silly misinformation got started.”
I’m still hoping it’s some kind of mistake.
Hear hear! Too young to die…
I went to bed last night hoping that I would wake up to a moderator edit on the title of thread, and it would all be a silly misunderstanding.
So sad.
How horrible and what a shock.
Condolences to his friends and family.
