In the recent past I'm seldom at Compuserve.   
   How seldom you can imagine, that I'm only now aware   
   of the sad message reported there: the SF-Fan  known as   
   Dupa T. Parrot is passed away in early November.   
   Since he was a longtime poster in rastb5m, I guess you   
   would know.   
      
   The Group-Mod notified JMS and did post his response,   
   which I'm free to cite here:   
   > ----------   
   > That's a real loss to the fan community, he was always a friendly,   
   > helpful and positive guy. Please send along my condolences... he   
   > occupied a rare and irreplaceable part in SF fandom.
