Hey ttompatz,

Just wanted to say thanks. You have answered some of my questions and whenever I see someone else ask a question you are usually one of the people who gives an answer.

So Thank you for helping out on this board.

Tom is an icon, comes through in the clutch every time. Seriously, they should consider building a statue of him in Itaewon, right next to Jongnoguru.


And for all you non-Americans, "clutch" in sports refers to "delivering when it counts."

Must be one of the nicest guys on the 'net.

I admire not only his knowledge but also envy his patience for answering politely the same question time after time.

Well done sir.

Never knew the guy personally, but always glad to see the Guru's monikor mentioned to keep his name and contributions alive. He deserves that much.

Whenever I saw his avatar I felt encouraged that there was a source of knowledge, patience and maturity on these forums.

Rest in peace buddy, you'll be missed.

This thread must be pretty confusing to newcomers. It starts out praising the continuing contributions of "tompatz" and then seamlessly mixes in posts eulogizing a great departed poster ("Jongnoguru"). Then posts are made without clear reference to who is being praised... Confused

Also it's ttompatz. Not tompatz. Some newbies might get confused because of miss-spell.
