I was probably one of the stupidest people here when I first became a member. A few of my original posts and replies are proof of that. Right before Stan left us, I had a private chat with him. I explained my comments, admitted I was scared, and told him about me. He wrote back with 5 or 6 well written paragraphs. then 3 days later he was gone. At the end of his life, he took the time to talk to a person i think he highly suspected was a fear spreading pro life do-gooder. I will never forgot the compassion and effort he put into those few exchanges we had. As this forum seems to always speak of his logical side and his intellect, the Stan I barely knew was a caring , understanding, and compassionate person, and that's how I will remember him. In fact I knew so little of him, I don't even get the popcorn references...I'm guessing he must have loved the stuff.
