Randy,
Having known Jon pretty well, I doubt that he would have wanted things to
shut down. But he would have liked the idea of (1) putting a little
humor into our Internet work, (2) striving harder to be precise and
logical in what we do, and (3) thinking a bit about how to be kind to
other people, local and remote.
