Blinky was a class act. He will live on far longer in people's minds than
his Usenet comments. And comments made about him. Relax, sit quietly, and
listen. If you're tuned in and worthy, you'll be in contact. You can hear
a lot when you listen.

I remember Blinky from years gone by. I loved his posts. He was a
reassuring presence.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

I am very sad to learn of his passing on. Indeed, r.i.p, Blinks.
