Back in the day, when we could follow threads and sort by topic.
We met on Usenet. Most of us met through alt.books.stephen-King (absk).
We got bitched at because we liked each other, and our "how's the kid feeling" questions were too off topic.
Now we find ourselves on Facebook, a place of Orwelian data mining, where we tell our friends peanut butter cups are better than snickers and get inundated with adds for chocolate.
There was a short, glorious moment in time when Wojo brought us together, here, in the underground. It was a time of debates and politics and discussion of music and books and fart jokes. It was a time were we learned, and grew and understood respect for opinions and ideas.
Wojo was an asshole, but he was a glorious asshole. He found this, he brought us along, and then held our feet to the fire. But he grew with us as well. For those of us who had the privilge of meeting him in real life, we knew that his heart was so huge, and he loved deeply.
Ken/Wojo, you will be missed and I am a better person for having known you. Thank you for building me up. Having faith in me when I had none in myself and believing that I was better than I even recognized in myself. You were a friend, confidant and savior.
If there is an afterlife, I am sure yours will be blessed with love. Goodbye my friend.
