Wow - I'm just getting caught up after a few days away, what a
stunning piece of news.

They say it's not what you take with you, it's the values, beliefs,
wisdom, etc. you leave behind with others that matters.  Tom
certainly did that - it wasn't the profit he made from EPIQ, it was
the sharing of why he made the transactions; it wasn't the return on
his portfolio or VR fund, it was his commitment to teaching and
explaining what he thought of each stock, technique, or topic.  How
many times did Tom explain what LLUR meant - and each time as if it
were the first time.  The effort he put into teaching and sharing his
knowledge to those of us on this list was amazing.  I feel blessed to
have learned from him.
