If you are reading this, it has been written by me and stored in my Drafts
folder to be posted by my daughter or her husband after my demise, as I am
now deceased at the age of 69. I have cancer of the spine and oesophagus and
it has taken my life.
I wish everyone a happy life as mine has been, and hopefully some of you
have learnt from me as I have learnt from some of you.
Goodbye to you all, and in the words of that great comedian, Dave Allen,
"May your god go with you".

I am sorry to hear of his passing. Andro was a crank, but a good crank,
even if foul-mouthed.

It appears that his last living Usenet post
was a reply to me, telling me I was wrong, as usual for him.
Unfortunately, he never learned his math errors, despite many of us
pointing them out to him.

Andorcles, Andrex [and all the other silly names we called him] had an obvious sense of humour and will be fondly remembered with a smile.
His contribution to our lives was a positive, if occasionally frustrating, one.
He was never a burden, always bright, intelligent and amusing.
You can't ask for more than that from anybody you meet online.

To his family, we hope his presence was equally positive.
May I say, for all of us, that we are sorry for your [and our] loss.
Many thanks for your kindness in sharing the news of his passing, with us, at this sad time.

"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the speed of light!"

Lord Androcles RIP.
