In the recent past I'm seldom at Compuserve.
How seldom you can imagine, that I'm only now aware
of the sad message reported there: the SF-Fan  known as
Dupa T. Parrot is passed away in early November.
Since he was a longtime poster in rastb5m, I guess you
would know.

The Group-Mod notified JMS and did post his response,
which I'm free to cite here:
