Sad news. :( Mend, please mend my friend.
Pete and I don't always agree, but he is one of the whetstones in my life that helps to keep me sharp.

Be nice!, I said, they know not what they do; forget it, he said, stupidity is stupidity is stupidity and I [Pete] won't stand for it. We continued to disagree about this, but over the years I started to agree with him[right][snapback]69245[/snapback][/right] *grins* Oddly enough, I 'met' him the same way. He was castigating one rather pompous post, and I pm'd him to suggest that he could have been a bit less heavy-handed and still got the message across. He disagreed (most politely, to my surprise). I have been forced into the same position as you - dammit, he was right. ;) Unfortunately my style will never, I fear, come up to his standard. We need the old Pete back. May it be sooner rather than later.

I've spent much more time lurking about this place than I ever have posting, but I've been lurking here for quite a while. Pete's posts have always been a must read in my daily lounge surfing. The place truly will not be the same until he is back.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery Pete. Your insight and bluntness have brightened many a day for me. -DarkCrown

I hadn't even checked the Lounge for a few months...not a pleasant surprise to come back too.
Pete, get well! Tibbs (and here I'd thought I already made my last post as "Virgil Tibbs." heh)

Hey, get well soon, and all my best wishes. Sent mail too! :)

Sad to hear...
Sorry for the late response. I was trying to think of something witty to say, but Pete knows that I am witless :P

Now for the joke: Maybe he'll get better if, rather than refer to him as "--Pete", you call him "++Pete++" ... just a little incremental C humor... isn't that up his alley? -Van Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio

Hello to all (and sundry -- you know who you are :) ),
Well, I'm back, more or less. As you can tell, Magi's estimate of a month was a bit on the low side ;) Thank you all for the good thoughts expressed in these posts and in the e-mails you've sent. They cheered me up at a time I really needed it. I'm about six months behind in the RW (including building a couple of machines so that Magi and I can play WoW), so I plan to mostly lurk in the near future. Of course, many of you know the buttons to push to get me out of lurk mode :) --Pete How big was the aquarium in Noah's ark?

Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!

Glad to see you're still very much alive and kickin'. :)

Pete! You have missed some very interesting threads....you have some catching up to do! I am glad that you are doing better, and hope to see your posts more often!
