If the legacy of a man is measured in the lifes he touched,
then a big part of Douglas Adams will live on in all of us.
So long, friend, and thanks for all the memories. My heart is
with your family.
A humble fan from Germany.

This was a hoopy frood who really knew where his towel was. He's probably researching the HHGTTHeavens now. Such a genius. I can't believe I was quoting his work as being seminal in this country's open university conference rooms at the moment he passed into the subethanet itself. Now he really knows the question to the answer, but I so wish it had taken him a lot longer to find.
Goodbye friend.
A Krikkitter.

Some writers can touch your soul with their works, Douglas Adams was one of them.

How can we possibly try an express the churning pain we felt in our guts when we heard the news. Words simply are not enough. My lip really wobbled when I realised that, despite DNA's constant threats, there really WOULDN'T another entry into the increasingly inaccurately HHGTTG trilogy. This Earth is a much emptier place.
My hope is that the film is in a sufficiently advanced stage because there really is no one trustworthy enough to oversee such a gargantuan task as a HHGTTG film.
So long...tell Marvin to pull his socks up and pop round to Robert Dyas and pick up some new diodes for that pain in his left side.
