Hello AWW,
I hope this post isn't taken the wrong way... Some of you may have
discovered this news already, but the members I contacted did not so:
After he was mentioned a few times in AWW recently, I took it upon myself
to locate Bill Logan. His last post to AWW can be found here:
<http://groups-beta.google.com/group/alt.www.webmaster/msg/a53a203ae429766c?hl=en>
Unforunately, I uncovered sad news. Sometime in October 2004, after the
16th (post date of the above message), Bill Logan passed away suddenly in
his sleep of a heart attack. Because his business was a sole
proprietorship, and he was the only one who knew the passwords to his
machines, his hosting company was dissolved, at much expense, by his widow
and 6 year-old son.
I have contact names and a PO-box mailing address, which I can send out
via email, should anyone wish to offer their condolences. If you do
decide to say a word, please keep in mind that this happened eight months
ago already, and we are only just hearing about it now. You may email me
at grey at greywyvern dot com.
I must say, he had lots of opinions, and wasn't afraid to speak his mind;
many of his positions on various topics raised ire in here, with myself
included. Yet despite everything, no one can deny that he was one of us,
and he will be missed.
RIP - Bill Logan

Good detective work though Grey. Thanks for letting us know.

No, he really wasn't, at least not for me. The best I can say for him is
that he's the one that led me to start posting here.
However, his passing is still a crying shame. Hopefully it was relatively
painless (as painless as a heart attack can be - the original post *does*
say he died in his sleep, so one would hope it wasn't too traumatic).

At WHT, there's a poster with the username "loganNZ." I kept

It isn't easy to do, that's for sure. I haven't done nearly enough,
but one thing I've always done is make sure that at least one other
person has the usernames and passwords for every website that I'm
responsible for. (Except for my personal site, but maybe I should do
something about that.)
It's sad that it took us 9 months to learn that something had
happened to Bill. Thanks, Grey, for finding out for us. BTW, how did
you uncover this information?
In the groups where you're a regular, does at least one other person
know how to find out about you if you suddenly drop out of the
picture? For me, a couple of people here do, and more people do in
another group. I really enjoy cybergroups, but it's always felt
strange to me that something like this could happen and people might
not find out for a long time, if ever.

Sad news. I remember a very heated discussion between Bill and me, and I
think we both enjoyed it. I think that mentioning subdomains is still
something that brings memories back to people here.
Anyway, I won't forget Bill.

The main bit was looking through some old Google-cached pages until I
found a former customer of bildanet.com. That customer was then able to
point me to someone who had the information.

I'll spill some beer for him next tine I have one. Yes, he'll be missed.
He might have been (on my opinion) wrong about some things, but he was
somebody clearly trying to do the right things in the right way, and
that's all anyone can really ask of any of us.

In another group I read and post now and then we also had a regular
disappear. I think it was like a month or two later that his wife emailed
some of the people from the group and they let the rest of us know.
Not sure about how I got along with Bill, I have a hard time remembering
stuff from a week ago anymore.

In the past I have been contacted a few times when I was suddenly out of
the picture for a week or so, also because people knew at that time that I
was not doing ok. But I have also been away for months, and nobody informed
back then. So it depends on age, and what people know I guess.

It happens in real life too. But because there are more ways that news
travels, especialy if it's in your own town, you hear sooner.

I have no idea. From a visit to his site ages ago I remember he has (had)
problems similar to ones I had (if you can compare such things), and
sometimes I have the idea that it would be good to take a break for some
time in my case.

Can be a good idea for anyone, really. It just that while it's not
unusual for brucie to disappear, sometimes for months at a time, he's
never been gone for anywhere near this long before.
I'm thinking that I will probably just send him something via snail
mail. That way he can choose to respond or not, in his own time. Ringing
is probably too invasive (and more expensive for me).

I'm starting a new thread because Bill should have his own thread,
and so should Brucie.
Brucie is alive and...Brucie-like. He responded to my email via the
bigpond address in his whois record. (Warning: if anyone else wants
to email him, use plain text only and no MS programs or his filters
might block you.)
He said he's out of the loop and hasn't been hanging around this
group. I hinted to him that he might find the offers of free he
was looking for if he came back here. (Well, what would you say to
bring him back?) If I get him here, the next step is up to the rest

I'm starting a new thread because Bill should have his own thread,
and so should Brucie.
Brucie is alive and...Brucie-like. He responded to my email via the
bigpond address in his whois record. (Warning: if anyone else wants
to email him, use plain text only and no MS programs or his filters
might block you.)
He said he's out of the loop and hasn't been hanging around this
group. I hinted to him that he might find the offers of free he
was looking for if he came back here. (Well, what would you say to
bring him back?) If I get him here, the next step is up to the rest
of you.

I got a response. I started another thread about it because I didn't
want to detract from this thread about Bill.

I'm not sleeping with Brucie. Sorry; I'm spoken for.

Great news. Glad you managed to get hold of him. It'd be nice if he came
back, but at least we know he's OK.

| After he was mentioned a few times in AWW recently, I took it upon myself to locate Bill Logan. His last post to AWW can be found here: <http://groups- beta.google.com/group/alt.www.webmaster/msg/a53a203ae429 766c?hl=en Unforunately, I uncovered sad news. Sometime in October 2004, after the 16th (post date of the above message), Bill Logan passed away suddenly in his sleep of a heart attack. Because his business was a sole proprietorship, and he was the only one who knew the passwords to his machines, his hosting company was dissolved, at much expense, by his widow and 6 year-old son. I have contact names and a PO-box mailing address, which I can send out via email, should anyone wish to offer their condolences. If you do decide to say a word, please keep in mind that this happened eight months ago already, and we are only just hearing about it now. You may email me at grey at greywyvern dot com. I must say, he had lots of opinions, and wasn't afraid to speak his mind; many of his positions on various topics raised ire in here, with myself included. Yet despite everything, no one can deny that he was one of us, and he will be missed. RIP - Bill Logan |
Sad news. Bit of a shock too.
You never know why some people stop posting, but something like this is
always in the back of your mind.
It would be sweet to make an expression of condolance to his family.
They might not know we even exist.
Thanks for doing this Grey.
RIP Bill Logan. I hope he took his rugby ball to heaven with him!

That got me thinking. If I passed away suddenly, no-one I know would make
a post in here. My friends and family know that I have webmaster chums
online, but they don't do (and have never done) usenet.
I am a sole trader too. I have thought about this before. I have a file
with important stuff in it, passwords etc, so I think someone would be able
to continue with it.

Thanks for doing that Lois. Good to know the old bugger is still with
us. Did you tell him about Bill?

It's not that people don't like you, Viper, it's just that you say some
pretty dumb and/or controversial things sometimes, and they really get
up peoples' backs. I'm sure you're not a bad person really.

Nothing - of course I'd be pleased to see him, but I wouldn't encourage

I think that brucie, and the voices, would prefer that he's kept on the
wide and twisted ;)
Of course, there are some of those amongst us who believe he is already
with us...

Only the first night is free. It's the next 18 years (and 9 months)
that cost!

The subject line of my email was "Greetings and an obit in AWW." I
told him to come to AWW to find out who it was about. He said he
didn't want to find out because in his reality, everyone lives
forever and no one wears pants.
He said he hasn't been lurking here, but who wouldn't take a peek
when they know that everyone is talking about them. I told him that I
was going to tell the group that he's alive, so he's probably read
about Bill by now.

Depends how you define the straight and narrow. But actually, I don't
