I never met Bill in person but from my years in this forum I feel like
someone I know has left us.

Prayers too his wife.

Yes, me too.

Bill and I had our online disagreements, and we had many good conversations,
too.

Remember the thread on towing a spacecraft, then slingshoting it, via a
"crack the whip" maneuver, using something like a 747 optimized for high
altitude flight? What a hoot! It was in discussions like that, that the
real personality of Bill came through, I think. I have a feeling that his
bark was much worse than the bite, and he was really a fun, soft teddy bear,
deep down. Other people's comments about how he loved kids would seem to
back that up, also.

On the other hand, from what I know about his activities, you probably were
better off if he was not really, truely, mad at him.

Bad things happen to good people. Once again, the good die far too young.

Prayers to his wife.

Yep, that too.

I hope we will one day be able to convey to her, how much we (even those who
never met him) are saddened by the loss.

Yeah, a drunken old ****head who took pleasure in abusing people (c.f.
Highflyer, Sydney, et al.). I wouldn't go out of my way to **** on his
grave.

You might want to change your screen name. It doesn't fit you.

What? Change it back to Walter Wankstain, perhaps? But, do you really expect
civilized behavior from a DataBasux cretin?

The real LP was grieved to hear of BWB's demise. She's disgusted to think
some asshole would use the occasion of BWB's death to try to besmirch her
good name and his memory.

I noted the posting came from Databasix too and suspected a "Joe Job". But
I was not familiar enough with the historical context to determine whether
others already suspected the post was potentially forged. Thanks for the
confirmation.

I tried to use Google Groups to try and get an idea whether the post was in
character. Because of the sheer volume of postings, it was only possible to
review snippets from the Google Groups archives - but it seems that as long
ago as 7 years ago Ladypilot had been a victim of impersonation.

Well, she does actually have a databasix account. Could be a froggery,
but I have never noticed a reticence on her part to shy away from
pointing one out...

In any case, it wasn't me...

I haven't talked to BWB much in the last several years, but I was truly
saddened to hear of his tragic accident.
Janice is recovering slowly and with much pain, but she is recovering.

I personally am a bit leery of the Lancair aircraft because they don't seem
to do well in emergencies. Bill has had
engine failures before in pretty hot aircraft and emerged unscathed. This
time he didn't. It is a loss to aviation and
to this community.

Dear Lady Pilot, I'm with you.

Why do you want to know, Dennis?
Would you go out of your way to **** on his grave?
