"He deserves more than a passing acknowledgment"
I never knew him...like I never knew Dunnigan, Hardy, Isby....
These people spoke to me
I was 12 at the time, and then 15 and then 20
I don't know much....but I remember from an issue of "Moves"
He said....."all the best" or "best regards"
I am 44 years old. I respect Redmond Simonson

i remember him well. one of the giants of the hobby during it's
early expansive years. his work was always imaginative, in some
cases ground breaking, sometimes precedent setting. his passing
makes me sad.

this is the third thread on him, what do you want for a response?
those of us who were around gaming in the early days when spi first
started all chimed in. i'll wager that jim dunnigan, rich berg and mark
herman aren't that well known to todays gamers brought up on computers
either.

I was around, recognized the name immediatly (got a few games he worked
on), but somehow I felt all that needed to be said was already said.

nobodys asking you to appologize and what eulogy did you provide?
you basically said everyone was ignoring his passing. i said there were
threads on that already and that those of us who were around in the old
days of spi remembered him there. you're acting like you are somehow
superior to everybody because people who never heard of him weren't
pulling out their hairs or slashing their wrists.

I will agree to the extent it wasn't much of a eulogy.
I simply felt bad that Redmond died and I was suprised more didn't remember
him If in your paranoid, syncopated, "I am the police of the internet
newsgroups" opinion somehow interpreted that as me somehow being superior
or whatever...that is your f-ing problem.
It is sad that what was meant as a show of respect for a dead man who was a
big part of teaching me and thousands of others about history, geography,
geopolitics and even science fiction degrades into you mentioning slashing
wrists and pulling out hair...

I suspect that many of us remember him, but don't really have
anything of any substance to say. I played lots of SPI games
in the 70s and early 80s (and still have dozens of them), but
I never really much got into the personalities, not even those
that were on display in the Outgoing Mail type columns in S&T
and Moves.
Is this piece by Greg Costikyan (who I'll always think of as
the 19-year-old he was when his name first appeared in the
game design progress reports) more the kind of thing you were
hoping to see?

Exactly. I remember him, but what am I supposed to say ? He already had
my respect, didn't need to make a post for that.
Besides, one of my net pet peeves (in terms of what's the point) is the
"Silent post for Person X" threads (I know this wasn't one of those).
