Apologies if somone has already rasied this idea, but- prospect of a tribute issue of The Post? How would anyone feel about that?

Gnomon - time to move on Posted Jun 15, 2011
Was this week's Post not a tribute issue?

Yes it was Gnomon. However, it was a personal tribute from B'El and so wonderful. I too fell into the trap, many years ago, of thinking that Pedantic was arrogant until I got to know him better. Any further contributions from others must surely be welcomed in a general Front Page issue.

Sorry! I maybe should have said 'The Post' there.

If anybody wants to compile a tribute page, you're very welcome.
From all the comments so far it seems though that hardly anybody knew him well enough to do one.

It needn't necessarily be an obit B'el, espcially if you've already written something along those lines yourself. PBS's contribution to the guideseems to have been reasonably substantial, I was wondering if an issie dedciated to his writings for the guide might a) be a fitting memorail to him here and b) remind a few people of where they'd read his work, or talked to him. Just a thought.

I'll certainly rerun his Tales of Benshasha in the Post, like I did with Terri's 'Hottooo Home of Today' after she had died.
And, depending on time, I can collect all the posts from here and from the Post article and put them in one entry, like we did for Pheloxi back then. However, if somebody else would like to take this on, I'd be grateful, because Beatrice is away, so I have to cover for her and I have more than enough work already.
