Wow!  I am completely stunned.   I noticed that Tom had not posted in
over a week - and figured his computer must be down.  

I've known Tom since the inception of this list (late '96, I think). 
I meet him early on - because I joined in the first week.  I haven't
been on this list all the time (most) - but I've been a lurker for
the last few years.  I was quite active in the first couple years,
and learned a lot from Tom and made good friends with him.   He's
single-handedly kept this list going over some hard, early times.  
Before Katherine Malm came aboard, he was the most prolific poster by
a factor of at least 4.  

I am convinced we would NOT be here discussing CANSLIM if it weren't
for Tom - despite Jeff's best efforts.

Once, Tom contacted me (when I mentioned my company was hiring)
asking if there was an opening for his son, and because it was Tom -
I followed up internally.   I'd be crushed if its the same son that
Tom was looking out for.   

Wow, again!    This might be the first time I'm fighting back tears
for someone I never actually met in person.
