I was driving home from work and heard the radio station suddenly shift in tone. It made me remember a time [he rightfully schooled](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-doesnt-radio-fade-out/355481/18) me on a very basic issue that I’d boneheadedly got straight wrong 15 years ago. We’d earlier exchanged some PMs on another topic and he sent me some LEDs in a package he’d obviously hand-cut and spent some time on. ---

> [@jnglmassiv](#): > > \*I made a minor edit to the quote to change to @\_username Well, to be honest, I don’t think he’ll be responding to it. Actually, from what little I remember of him, he might. (I’m not sure if it was discourse’s tweaking names from the old board, but his discourse name is “Q.E.D” but his (real?) name is “Q.E.D.”) ---

Yeah, that’s who we’re talking about, and I knew that. (Wow, _that_ long ago?) Which is why I said what I said. He was a smart guy (from what little I remember of him), and he’d probably figure out how to respond. ---

@Mr.Miskatonic, another long-timer ('01) also looks like he posted more or less steadily up until last post / last seen date. (Jun. 17/20) (heh forgot to **@scr4** ) (again - another old-timer whom I have no clue about their posting, really) ---

Now @Biffy_the_Elephant_Shrew I _do_ remember much better in the nearly six years I’ve been here from all the **CS** contributions. Already mentioned here? Can’t recall. Oodles of posts right up until a last post/seen date of Apr. 12, '17. ---

Not sure if this email reply will get through but… I wasn’t able to log in anymore after the new board went up. I tried resetting the password and no emails ever showed up. I would have made more fuss and maybe emailed admins directly but then I had a nice bout with Cancer to deal with. (I am recovered…mostly) so it kind of slipped off my radar. But I live. -MM ---

Good news that the cancer’s almost gone, and that you can, well, _log in_ now. 🙂 This means, though, you no longer have any excuses. 😛 ---

Well, being able to reply to that email certainly helped as I finally noticed the space between Mr and Miskatonic had been removed. Kinda helps with the login. ---
