Later is mumble mumble UTF8 encoding issue, double encoding probably mumble mumble.

    I've just been notified by his wife that Thom Stickel (A little elbow grease) passed away yesterday. Thom was a proud alumni of the University of Pittsburgh, where he played baseball on scholarship. Our mutual love of baseball shaped our friendship and our similar ages allowed for great memories dating back to the late 50s and 60s. He never let me forget about the greatest homerun ever hit by Bill Mazeroski against the Yankees in 1960 :) I'll miss Thom and our offline exchanges badly and I know many others will miss him too. God bless you Thom, your presence...

    It is with a very heavy heart that I am announcing that the TCMS will be no more. humblegunner & I had a serious discussion about this several months ago and we both agreed it was time for it to end. The past several years I have dreaded planning this event, even though there isn't a lot to the planning as it has become a well oiled machine. It just doesn't seem the same anymore. We have a great 14 year run! I will definitely miss seeing all of you at this event. Know that I adore all of you....
