When Boris stopped posting I thought he might go through a period of much work, and since I always had the impression he was quite young I imagined him writing on a thesis or something similar and was hoping to see him back here after he'd finished his work. How sad to read about his passing! And what a strange aspect of virtual communication that is: to feel familiar with someone's opinions and knowledge without knowing anything about him or her... I sincerely hope my impression of his age was wrong and he passed away after a long and fulfilled life! In any case: his messages have been a main reason for me to visit this board and I will sur miss them even more now that I know he won't come back.
