    Had intended to mark the anniversary --- instead I missed it. Oh well.

    I frequently think of Sonart and various snippets from his posts. Human memory is a strange, amorphous thing. In any case, Sonart made a big impression.

    Yeah, Nono, I still think of him often, especially at the first of the year. In some ways I don't think I'll ever get over the suddenness of his death. He was a great guy.

    Wow, it's been a year already? Yikes. I miss his contribution to the global warming debate. There are times in other forums where I'll search out Sonart's posts looking for a link I remember him posting ages back, or a chart, or a graph, or an article, or some tidbit of information that it seems only he knew about. Still fighting the good fight on his behalf.

    Salute he was a great adversary indeed.

    Well, I have been away for a while, came back recently and just noticed this thread now.

    I jumped to the linked thread in the OP and Liked & Thanked his final post, not just because it was his last post and how be has passed away, but also because I actually liked it and agreed with it.

    I remember posting along with him in these forums over the years and while much of the many debates over that time has become hazy & blurred due to so many threads, topics, posts and members I have seen (not to mention many other forums I have been a part of since 1998) I remember his name, I remember his avatar and I remember he put up a good debate / argument.

    Even though I knew nothing about him or his personal life beyond his name, his avatar and what he expressed, he had my respect.
