...two of my oldest friends on DU. Back in the day (2003-ish) I was alg0912, and, for an odd reason, Dennis Donovan, at one time here as well (no sock-puppetry, just trying to lay low after a terrible time in my life). But, I've been here the entire time since March 2002. Bart's passing is bringing back so many memories of DU pre-2003. I came here because of a link on Bartcop.com. Stunned, bewildered, and feeling the fool that I believed in what was taught to me by teachers I thought were truthful and, at times, even valiant.

I've learned more about life and truth from you both (and DU as a whole), and from Bartcop.

I sit here in awe of you and of our departed friend. I am richer for knowing you all.
