Are you sure he's gone?

We are. We were able to confirm his real name and obituaries are all over the net. He wasn't highly valued and respected just on the PF.

Ok thanks.

I guess this thread has nearly run it's course. Just stumbled over this example where I think our man's sarcasm got the better of him. He must have had a bad day (I mean who haven't?), or possibly something was going on under the radar. :)

I don't understand! His reply is spot on.

Well, the OP explicitly says he's gonna work through the exercises doesn't he? Did I misread it?

EDIT: Ah well, 20%. Maybe that's what set him off! :P

EDIT2: Don't misunderstand. I'm not trying to tarnish his reputation. Just pointing out that we all sometimes take it a little too far (with a gleam in my eye). I couldn't have held a candle to him. *Prostrates myself*.

Ok if it's all over the net and public information can you give a link ?

That's the thing - that would mean killing his anonymity at PF.

The link between Vanadium 50 to the real person behind that username is not public!

And we only have a high probability, not exactly proof, since nobody knew about the connection or the real person privately.

Yeah he was V50 for a reason.

Now he has gone I have been going through a few threads and interactions.
The "one liner" thread went very quiet when he left, that's says a lot.
