Tim&#8217;s one of these ghost presences in my life, someone I&#8217;ve known of rather than known for way too many years &#8211; we share lots of people and interests (writing and climate change, to name two biggies). It&#8217;s almost spooky, actually, because NZ is so hyper-networked due to its small size that you almost need to actively avoid someone to not meet them for as long as I&#8217;ve not met Tim. (I first saw him across the room at Forrycon, back in 1991, as the fan guest of honour sharing the stage with the venerable and delightful <a href=\"http:\/\/www.additiverich.com\/morgue\/archives\/002744.html\">Forrest J Ackerman<\/a>.

I think its very fair and positive, and does credit to Dan&#8217;s efforts to finally get this writing out in front of readers. That&#8217;s a great thing.
