Dear RAS,
I am very saddened to hear of Geoff's passing. You Johny-come-latelies
won't remember him, but he was the driving force 15 years ago for the
breaking up of the original rec.aviation newsgroup into the many different
rec.aviation.* groups we have today. He did a tremendous amount of work
building consensus, defining the charters for each group and doing all the
administrative BS to make what we now enjoy happen.
He was a great guy who worked hard for our current newsgroups.
