I'm kinda in the same boat as Warren -- I'm 34, and I remember that one of
the first things that I read on the NANOG list (having signed up towards
the end of my first summer internship) was the news of Jon's death.
I'm also with Laurence -- the fact that a lot of younger people said "who"
is an opportunity for instruction, not a reason to abandon memorials.
More importantly, speaking of younger folks on the list, this is a good
reminder to ask yourself: "What can I do to be the kind of inspirational
figure that Jon was?" Sure, it's a high bar, but those are worth jumping
for.
