Re: tragic news

        The outpouring of support from our community makes it glaringly 
evident that Kim Flint was an inspiration, driving force, and advocate for 
whomsoever desired it, and that I am not alone in grieving the patent void 
created by the passing of a man so deeply and seemingly universally 
respected.  His loss will surely reverberate around not only our 
community, but any other milieux he touched, and I join the congregation 
in extending my condolences to Violet and endorsing some kind of musical 
requiem.
        Unlike others on the list, however, I wasn't present at the EDP's 
inception, now was I around when LD began.  In fact, I'm still 4 days shy 
of my 17th birthday, and my EDP dropped on my doorstep little over a month 
ago.  Nevertheless, in the short time I've been subscribed and from the 
archives I've looked through, I can see the impact, direct and indirect, 
that this ancillary had through the community he nursed to maturity, and I 
have learned and been exposed to so much here.  As he passed, his creation 
gave my expression new life, and so my sadness is tempered with admiration 
for a man who affected me deeply without an iota of personal contact.  I 
await my musical growth throughout my life, and I know that this list will 
sustain me in everything looping-related, so I owe a debt to Kim Flint's 
legacy.  I speak for us all in saying thank you; you will be missed.

P.S. Violet– Whenever you get around to more earthly matters, I would be 
honored to offer my technical and other abilities (depending on school 
workload) to the site/list to keep it running.  Rick Walker put it 
perfectly:

Thank you for keeping LD alive, and for now, just hang in there.
