We are all very saddened and suprised by this bad news.  Adam's insight,
intellect, and wit were a real high point of reading this mailing list
and
we will miss his contributions greatly.  I agree with the suggestion
that
GZG add some sort of dedication to Adam in their next edition of FT. 

Please pass along our sadness and sympathy to Adam's family.  It says a
lot
about him that he made such a good impression on so many of us all over
the
world.

Jonathan,

Please do what you can to maintain this list.  It has been a wonderful
source of information and I have greatly enjoyed sharing ideas with my
fellow subscribers.  Let us know what we can do to support you.
