The post might have been friends only. Here is what his son posted: Nolan Leon Hinshaw, 1944-2023. My dad passed away rather suddenly a couple of weeks ago. He was found in his apartment last weekend. While we don’t officially know the cause of death yet, he was being treated for heart problems. I take some comfort in knowing that he reached the end of his life without ever needing a caregiver, and I’m sure he would feel similarly. But it's a small comfort for a devastating loss. I’m busy sorting through both things and feelings, and both are more wide ranging than I could have imagined. He was many things: mechanic, engineer, programmer, sysadmin, impromptu stand-in for a Gandalf cosplayer, The King of Misrule, a sailor, a model maker, that-guy-in-the-team-who-keeps-everything-working-somehow, and much more. But mostly, he was my dad. He was the sort of parent who created possibility and not limitation, and used hobbies and toys and activities to teach incredibly valuable skills. I’m sad to say that I don’t personally know a lot of his associates, especially over the last 15 years or so. I’m planning to hold off on having any sort of memorial until I can make sure I’m not missing anyone important. So... don't be a stranger, and please do share your anecdotes and memories. ####### I think there are some old denizens of usenet on this list. I met Nolan on alt.peeves, I know that he was also active on alt.folklore.urban > >> On Jun 5, 2023, at 5:53 PM, Larry Colen <l...@red4est.com> wrote: >> >> I just found out that Nolan Hinshaw, aka the articulate mandible, passed >> away a couple of weeks ago.
