One FReeper I worry about is Swordmaker. He ran the Apple/Mac Ping List and with ShadowAce inspired me to start the Windows Ping List many years ago. But the personal abuse he took on account of Apple was brutal and unrelenting, and I know it took a toll on his happiness in doing the ping list; ultimately the pings faded away and no one has picked up the list since.

I thought I recalled reading something about his wife. I remember it was some sort of serious issue or tragedy.

I argued with him occasionally, but got along with him fine most of the time.

I think she passed away, but I’m not sure and I don’t recall the circumstances.
