I have been lurking these boards since I was a young kid. You and the other oldies aka Icelander, redgreenvines, lion, etc. always had a visible and important impact on these forums and in my mind. This may disturb you lol, but you guys actually had a prominent role in my development. The truth is these forums reach a lot of people and the conversations go beyond the individuals having them. So I just want to express my appreciation and gratitude to you, as well as the shroomery in general for this. It was important to me to be able to connect with a community that at times seriously discussed meaningful and countercultural ideas, and you were a part of that. Those were better times in the PS&P and Spirituality forums lol. You guys did a good job moderating. It feels a bit untamed in here now and I never come here anymore
I am still young but I think about death a lot. It highlights the preciousness of this life. Never know when the time will come. Maybe this book can help you (https://www.amazon.com/Year-Live-This-Were-Your/dp/0609801945). I have certainly appreciated it. I would even be willing to send it to you, but idk your address. I hope you spend the rest of your time meaningfully and get a chance to let go of the excess dross. This is a note to everyone else too: This life is precious. You do not know when you will die. The masters of old contemplated these lessons until they were in their bones and acted accordingly. Do not wait to finally live

Hey Swami. You are a wise person and I think you will deal well with whatever happens.
I remember arguing with you a fair bit, don't remember what about -- it's been more than a decade since I've posted here regularly -- I was in my twenties and I think you were probably right most of the time. You and Icelander and a few other old timers. I am 42 now and I've grown as a person and I attribute a not-insignificant amount of that to the pushback I received in this very forum from people like you.
Goodbye, if it's really goodbye!

OC for all our banter, I always appreciated your input and grounded reasoning. It was fun and challenged me to really dig deep into researching and really understand my topics or you would destroy me. I wouldn’t have learned near as much without you disagreeing with nearly every post I made.
Thank you , it sucks to hear you are dying but it’s good to know you are still around..
I hardly post any longer either but I check in every couple months or so and lurk around.
I’ve low-key missed you. I miss CosmicJoke and Icelander… over the time I was a regular poster we became friends there near the end.

Hey OC, this post made me post for the first time in years, I randomly stumbled across the shroomery the other day by accident and wow what a strange place eliciting strange strange memories from over a decade ago. God speed, motherfucker. Good vibes and you've been challenged harder before than the god-damned reaper can.
