My summer visits to the board are infrequent, but I couldn't stay silent on this occasion.

Igor was an expert provocateur.  Overstepped the line often, but only drew me out a couple of times.  Added great flavor to the board.  His fights with the various versions of Tristan were epic, and I sometimes suspected that he invented both online personas.  But then it became clear that Fishy had invented Tristan out of whole cloth.  Someday Fishy will confess to this.  I'm sure of it.

All this reminiscing took me back to a time when this message board stuff seemed pretty new, and we were all suffering and burning with desire for that "one before the grave" that we got in 2003.  He drew a lot of us old folks out to post--then and now on the occasion of his passing.  I loved finding out above in this thread that he was a teacher/coach and friend to a couple of longtimers around here, and that he supported BocaDoug and others around him with a less controversial persona IRL.  It is such a small world sometimes.

Igor, if you can track down a 14.4 baud modem in the afterlife, log the hell on, you troublemaker.  You made the ride much more interesting, and I wish I'd gotten to meet you in person.
