Finally, I know there are those in the LF community that disliked Michael; some going so far as to accuse him of being a snake oil salesman. Never the less he was a giving individual and stood up for what he believed in. He will be missed by the LF community.
It is quite apparent and obvious that your interactions with Michael were at the very best highly peripheral and inconsequential otherwise you would have never ever considered including the last sentence of your contribution to this notice of his passing.
