I actually thought he just created different persona of himself to comment on his own posts; as ridiculous as that sounds, it actually made more sense than bunch of people taking his names all the times as if he was a second coming. I have read his past threads and have debated with him (via posts) on occasion, I do think he has good brains behind his persona; but I still don't get why so many people are/were gaga behind him. Look at this, even after he is gone, people remember him like a martyr or big hero while we have had really big contributors in the past (Ashu, Paschim, Sitara come to mind).

I get that he had that rare quality to debate at intellectual level, while still be casual/howdey with the rest. I still don't get why people remember him even till this date and I will never get it.
