Alex Nichol represented the best qualities of a Newsgroup responder.
Knowledgeable, Thoughtful and patient. If there ever was a person who
qualifies for MVP Emeritus status - Mr. Nichol should be it's first
recipient.

Yeah, He was a true gentleman, and he took the time to read and try to
understand the posts he was responding to. And that is not always the
easiest thing to do, especially with so many illiterate yanks posting
here. He was even patient with me, and we all know how hard that is!
;-) Hell, it practically makes him a Saint.

Seriously, I will really miss Alex. He was the best of best of this
group.

Alex remained the gentleman at a time when some of us had the overwhelming
urge to put an 'idiot' out of their misery.. I guess that to lecture Physics
in a University (just one of his many talents), patience is a virtue that
you need in copious amounts, that and a desire to teach and inform without
prejudice..

A link to his work for those with problems.. gone but not forgotten, eh..

I wrote another letter tonight to someone in a similar situation. This was my final paragraph.

People aren't "gone" till the people that remember them are also "gone".

Then Alex will be around these parts for a long time to come. And
his tens of thousands of posts will last for as long as there is a
USENET archive, and there are people around to read it.

I second that; I learned a great deal from Alex's contribution here, and
that is an understatement. I also read all of his contributions at Jim
Eshelman's website (as well as Jim's), and I referenced that a great deal
not only for myself when needed, but also for others seeking advice. Alex
had all the qualities and represented what the letters MVP meant most,
especially "professional" and never lessened in "valued", when giving his
time lending his knowledge base at a fee that is priceless!

I will miss Alex's contributions here, but more importantly, I will miss the
man that he is, and I feel I can speak for all here and outside of these
venues, that they feel the very same way!

I offer Alex's family and his friends my deepest condolences, he will be
missed!

Uh, what happened to him? Judging from the other responses (with which I
fully agree), it doesn't sound good.

Ditto. We will all miss him sorely, both as a person, and as a
vast source of knowledge to learn from.
