Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow - Tom Sherman

I thought he was recovering when he bought that green prophylactic device and tried to make out it is bicycle, but apparently his sense of humor is still AWOL.

Nutto. I used to suspect that Ed *was* Tom's alter ego, but now that only one of them is showing up... He's had a disagreement with himself! Well I'll be... Who doesn't? ;-) |

... tried one 'reply to nut' but the system rejected that particular Sherman email address Sherman was very knowledgeable about computers as well as bicycles, but I truly do not understand how anyone can be on a newsgroup like forever and then just leave without saying a word to anyone. Maybe he has had an accident in his new velomobile or is otherwise indisposed. I will miss him even if no one else does. I myself have posted 13 final farewells but somehow I never quite manage to leave. Go figure! -- Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |

Perhaps we should just remember Tom Sherman as the amusing, enthusiastic, boy he once was. Andre, every group needs someone who has been around for a long time. They embody the lore of the group, something that newbies and fly-by-nights can never do. I value anyone who can stick around a newsgroup on almost a daily basis for years and years like Tom Sherman did. Newsgroups change over time and so did Tom Sherman. After many years, there is only so much that can be said about bicycles and cycling. Tom was always pretty fair about posting on subjects that had nothing to do with the topic of these groups. He always tired to label them OT. What I liked best about Tom Sherman is that he knew how to get things going. The only sin on Usenet is to be boring. I hope Tom and I were never that. -- Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |
