..funny, but despite never having met him, id always pictured him like that.

Feel the same, Sir MM. Thanks for posting that message with the pic, Ken. Exchanged a few emails with him years ago and he always came across as a warm, noble, generous soul. A true Celtic warrior. Missed his presence here when he left this board as I enjoyed his turn of phrase and rare insights. He used to go on about Tom Campbell´s metaphysical´Big TOE´ theory a lot which describes, if I remember rightly subjective reality and one consciousness...if that´s the case (and it seems to be!), he hasn´t really left us.
