I would like to join Hal Lane and others in mourning the passing of Paul N. Lee. I was very saddened to hear of Paul's death, although I never met him in person. As others have said, he was a frequent and generous contributor to this list, sharing his knowledge and understanding of fractals. He also maintained a web site and a valuable archive, which others are now trying to keep going. But this is not all. He was personally very kind and generous of his time. A couple of years ago, I had some problems when my messages to various people, including him, were bounced. He made many helpful suggestions to me away from the list. In the end I discovered that the problem was caused by my ISP being taken over by a larger company. Its incompetence resulted in the Grapevine domain name being blacklisted by several mail servers including AT&T. Some people may not know that Paul had a long and quite ghastly time with cancer and had countless surgical and medical interventions. Despite this, he kept posting. His story resonated with me as a cancer survivor. I was fortunate not only to have a good oncologist and a good haematologist, and to live in a country with a rather better health funding system than the US, but there was a genetically modified drug capable of treating my form of cancer, which, followed by an autologous stem cell transplant and a long convalescence, more than sixteen years ago, proved quite effective. Others are less lucky. I am also delighted that the Fractint list may not be moribund. Since Albrecht's latest dummy-spit, the list has been very quiet. It was great to hear that Jim Muth may resume posting fractals at least occasionally. For many of us Jim's FOTD epitomises what the list is about. Thank you also to Mike Frazier for keeping things going. Barry Smith, long time lurker from Australia.
