Like so many people around the world, I am very saddened indeed by the sudden death of Douglas Adams. My heartfelt sympathies go out to his family and to his close friends. By all accounts he really was a magnificent man, a genuine character. I met him a few times and on the last occasion we had a great little chat about music and I remember thinking then, 'What a lovely bloke!'. I know full well he'll be sorely missed, but his magnificent spirit lives on, especially at h2g2.
I'm so proud to be associated with the h2g2 project, and the way in which the h2g2 Community has conducted itself and expressed its collective heart these past few days is humbling and moving beyond words. h2g2 is alive and growing; a totally life-affirming, nurturing presence in an increasingly moronic world. I can't think of a more fitting legacy - what an amazing thing to leave us!
God bless you Douglas.
