Mal

[Dieter Schprokets]

I have been trying to think of what to say.

There are very few people I know, who are wired utterly differently from the rest of us.

People whom your first conversation with is like the first curry eaten by a meat-and-potatoes person. (Well, those that end up liking curry, anyway.)

I know of only one other person who I have ever met, in RL or online, who was as unique as Mal. Scratch that, that other guy is second place.

I wish I'd been able to know him a lot longer. He thought and spoke and wrote in his own way.

That is what I am going to miss.
