I am shocked.

I did not know him as I don't visit XP General only basic and newuser,
but of course I have come across his name and postings around about. I
am very sorry to hear of his death and I'm sure he will be greatly
missed by everyone.

Get your act together MVPs.

I am also shocked. From Spain, rest in peace, Alex.

That's a damn shame, David.

Not least because he was the best man on XP.Gen.

That's good to know. I can't do anything but some need to step forward. I
still don't see his name (in XP obviously 98 excluded from my comments - how
about adding XP.Gen to the thread over there?). I've used OE's search
searching for his last name for the last 7 hours and have had no hits. I
tried to review all posts but realised quickly that was impossible.

I only have hearsay so can't make it an official annoucment.

I believe a thread at jim's site talks about it
http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=122...asc&highlight=

Some have told me the announcement was made here (?)

Sorry, David ... did what I could on this end ... In addition to the forum
thread you mentioned, there is http://aumha.org/alex.htm which links to his
various (superb) online articles.

And I hadn't heard about your other recent grief. You have my sympathy.
That's a lot of body slamming in a short time.

I remember David. Please accept my sincere condolences on your recent
loss. I believe you did all you could.

Took me a while to figure out who you are talking about. Alex was
definitely one of the BEST people on XP.gen (sorry, I don't read the
other groups) and a pure expert in disk
and file systems. I will always be greatful for what he has taught me.

I am definitely shocked at the news of his demise.

Rest in peace Alex.

Hey Jim,

That was a funny story you told on your forum about Alex. On this sad
day, it was a fitting tribute to share such a story, that showed his dry
wit. Please repost it here, to share it with this group.

My deepest and most heart-felt condolences to you, and all that loved
Alex.

I echo Gary's sentiments. I do not care for your attitude and hope and pray

Kurt, can you do me a favor and talk some sense into David Candy because you
are a moderator and David Candy can be really annoying. Thanks in advance
for the great work over at the XP General newsgroup in keeping trolls at Bay.
I for one greatly appreciate it.

Jim you are doing great. David can be annoying and already has been mean to
me in the XP General newsgroup. I now consider David Candy a troll until I
am proved wrong by someone else.
