I suspect we've heard of the last of The Millionaire. :-(
I know. :/ As the years go by more and more handles get retired.

People die every day, dude. You don't have to be old to die.
Millionaire wasn't elderly.
I find it hypocritical that people are mourning this guy when everyone treated him like garbage. Especially on fxnet.

Well, there may be some that realize they didn't treat him so well who
are reflecting on their actions and not feeling so great about them. So maybe those are not mourning him so much as wishing they'd acted differently.

yeah i'm not really sure why anyone would feel bad about it after the fact. i'm surely not going to reconsider other things i post just because i think the person might kick the bucket soon. do people get a free pass to be annoying because they're ill? NOPE
I don't want people knowing my favorite color!
There was a guy local to me that was my first experience on FidoNet. It opened a whole new world to me. But I remembered that he was "older" at the time. I looked up his name and saw he owned a house in plantation so I wrote him a letter and he wrote me back! Still doing great in his 80s.

Was he really that annoying? Usually he just tried to post some conversation starters, but it seemed not everyone was interested in those posts. IMO that's hardly annoying.

Carhartt T-shirts are all I wear (except when visiting customers for meetings and such. I will wear them when working in a customer plant.)
They are my favorites...

I have THREE salmon shirts. All the cool kids these days wear salmon.
They last forever, but get pocket rips if you keep your phone in there.

This reminds me that I have completely lost touch with my original FidoNet guru. He was also older than me and lived in a nearby city. He was NC264 from the beginning of net 264 and I took it over from him probably around 1990 or so. I wish I knew how to connect with him again, if for no other reason than to say hello.

Wasn't pink the new black for a while?
The entire fido archives (or a decent amount) are availble somewhere. I was able to read through some older posts that way, might have some leads for you.

I'll never tell my favorite color.

We know it is black, because it matches your heart.

Incorrect.
Being on pain pills that haven't worn off yet is the best time to post on BBSes and social media. :D

Nobody found his obituary, so there's no proof he died.

Jennifer is a good name. I don't know why anyone crazy enough to do a stunt like that, but that's sad.

well because back then in the 90s people didnt talk about how they
were gay all day. now everyone is gay and you can't talk about being straight.
i dont talk period and dont want other people to talk about their orientation. i don't want to see it, i don't want to hear it.
