    He will definitely be missed. I am at a loss for any other words. I just hope the passion he had for many things in life continue on in those whose lives he touched.

    As of this posting, I have Doug's old avatar in my signature line for a little while, to honor him.

    Thing is, I'll go scrolling down some thread and see that avatar in my own signature, and immediately have an, "Uh-oh, he's watching us!" reaction. I instinctively find myself resolving to straighten up and fly right!

    It's kinda like that feeling you get when you see a cop car in your rearview mirror, even when you're driving safely and under the speed limit. Knowhutimean? ;)

    I completely missed this news, very sad for Doug's family and the Cointalk community. He will be missed.

    Doug was sneaky. He didn't always sign in. It didn't look like he was online but he was there making sure everyone was behaving.

    I am sad for the loss of a life. My contribution here will be to say how much respect I have for moderators who make good spaces. Since the last time I was active here, I wound up with a mod/admin job on a forum full of people with problems. It was, well, a growth opportunity and I found out just how much work it takes. This didn't get to be a good space by accident.
