An overdue eulogy
a year ago
For a second, imagine - the literal deluge of journals going out. All, more or less, saying the same thing. Just...how many that is. Heartfelt wishes from friends, family, strangers, and not. The condolences for the loved ones that were left behind. All from a singular place that bridged lives together the world over for, god... almost two decades?
Say what you will of the problems that FA has had, many sure, several users make mention of this, but.. even after having been burned by the site - Those users, those that I've seen at least. They still put their thoughts out, their feelings, and wished a peaceful rest was waiting for the departed.
I personally never had the pleasure to know them, but it was hard not to 'know' of them, you know? Even harder now! But even though I didn't know them, reading so much about them now - its easy to see that they were a pretty decent person. Someone that'll be sorely missed by most, dearly by those closest... and everyone else - kinda nervously concerning the future of our.. not so little home here. However 'that', I believe is a bridge we'll all cross if and when we come to it, but I doubt this legacy that we've been left with will suddenly just up and go.
All that said,
Here's to you, Dragoneer. We'll see you on the other side.

I woulda put this out there sooner, but I just didn't know how to really.. put my thoughts together at first concerning this.
