    A Fond Farewell

    After ten enjoyable years I am signing off of KFN, the best and most friendly Linux forum on the web.

    For several months it has been my only registered Internet account and with its closing my presence on the Internet comes to an end. During the last year I installed Kubuntu on six laptops of friends The is coming to an end as well.

    An aside: A couple of years ago I read the “Three Body Problem”, by Cixin Liu

    Yesterday my son brought me a copy of “Chain Lightning”, by the same author.
    It is even better than the “Three Body Problem”, which I rank better than Issac Asimov’s “Foundation Trilogy”.

    Ball lightning interests me because in 1986 I witnessed the occurance of one. During a thunderstorm lightning struck a light pole near my house and surge current melted the power cord connected to the wall socket nearest to the lightning strike. At the same instant an orange ball of plasma erupted from the wall socket and floated across the room for about 10 feet before settling down onto the carpet and creating a scorched spot. The ball was about 6-10” in diameter and was a translucent fluorescent orange.


    So, with my last post on KFN I bid you all farewell.

      Sorry to see you go GreyGeek! You were the first to respond and welcome me here a few months ago and ever since you have helped me a great deal as I got into Kubuntu and btrfs step by step.

      Wish you all the best and take care of yourself!

        Even though you will never see this, best wishes to you. The internet is a lesser space without you.

            Ah, that's really a loss. You were certainly the nicest person I ever could disagree with on the internet.
            Good luck and all the best!

                    Sorry to hear this, but in the words of the dolphins in "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy", “Thanks for all the fish!” You will be missed.

                            GG, I will miss your expertise - and your conservative pronouncements. It was good to get to know you - even just a little bit, for so short a time. Blessings to you (from on high).
