George, thank you for reminding us all at this time of year of the knowledge and pleasure Dr. Bradley gave us with his enlightened outlook of the world in general and with his eloquent posts here. With your permission I am copying your entire post of today from the TRIL thread that includes Truman's last posting here, and, which proved to be his last posting to Silicon investor. Jeff << To: White Knight (3542 ) From: George Dysert Thursday, Dec 24 1998 12:31PM ET Reply # of 3545 White Knight, Truman's last known post on the Bob Brinker thread. I have re-read it several times and I am still unable to determine if this is a specific or general farewell. As we all expected, no matter what the meaning, it is beautifully crafted and unmistakenly authored by Truman Bradley.

It has been a good game. I have enjoyed the repartee' more than I can describe in words, even my words. However, as a Book of wisdom has it, "To every thing there is a season; a time to live and a time to die." For me, the latter time has come, at least, in a metaphorical sense; it is time for me to step off this stage. I have attempt- ed, in my own way, to maintain this thread as a sanctuary for free speech, especially- informed, intelligent, and civil speech. As I witnessed other threads devolve into cesspools of vitriol, I vowed that such a hideous fate should not befall this topic if I could help it. This thread has, periodically, come close to the precipice of chaos, but forces of reason and good fellowship have always come to the fore and re-balanced the wheel. To all my friends here, I bid an especially fond adieu. To all those who have supped with me at the table of ideas, it has been a fine feast of the mind. However, I must perforce leave you now. Other muses beckon; other pursuits call to me. My wish is that this thread shall continue to host some of the finest minds of the Silicon Investor universe and maintain its trappings as a broadly constructed tent under which fertile ideas and the constructive, civil interchange of important ideas might flourish all hallow. Should Mr. Brinker ever read these words, let me at once thank you for many hours of listening and reading enjoyment and for providing the raison d'etre for this topic. If I have helped, even in a small way, to spread the word of your genius into cyberspace, I am gratified. In your time, you have ferried countless thousands to the land of critical mass and hastened the progress of even more thousands closer to that land. For them and many others, you have shown the clear pathway through the tangled wilderness of finance with the crystalline lamp of knowledge, experience, insight, and common sense. You have swayed still others from omnipresent shark-infested waters. For these contributions to society, you are justly praised. Thank you, Mr. Brinker, and thank you all. God bless you everyone.
