Robert Plett: 194? - 2005
Denizens, I'm sure most of you remember about a year ago this time when I lost one of my best and dearest friends, Jeff Duke (his funeral was a year ago yesterday, if memory serves). As you'll recall, his death hit me pretty hard - to the point where I forsook a couple of very valuable days spent at the Lady's side in Miami just to come back here for the funeral.
This hits me just about as hard. Robert Plett was one of the charter members of that little band of Fidonet brothers known as the Lensnetters (LENS = Limbaugh Echo Nuke'm Squad) which continued as a loose-knit cadre of emailers to this day. He also, up until recently, was a regular commenter to this blog; in fact, I'd been beginning to wonder why I'd not seen him in a while.
I guess now I know, don't I?
Denizens, you'll pardon me if this is the only post you see this weekend. I'm gonna take some time to mourn - and I encourage those of you who knew him to do a little mourning yourselves. The planet just lost a helluva good human being.

Because if I do - so help me God, there aren't enough people on this planet to stop me from putting your skanky ass six feet under.
You've been warned, faggot. -LSIK&T]

I spoke with Tom today. From what he said, Claudia, Wendy and Tom are doing as well as can be expected.
