RARA-AVIS: Rara avis and the haunted computer

I've been off the computer for a few days and when I rebooted the thing I must have triggered a memory clitch or something because I found dozens and dozens of old posts about The Long Goodbye in my mailbox, most of them old rants by the beloved Jim Doherty who left us a month or so ago for greener pastures.

I'm not sure which of the twenty or so monotonous rounds of debate these posts are from. Many of the posts even appear to be duplications of duplications, because the same crazy notions just kept getting repeated over and over again. Jim almost seemed fanatical in his lonely need to prove himself right. He was like Don Quixote, tilting at a windmill, only to find it was just a much beloved movie. Not a giant. Sad really.

Man, do I miss that guy. I hope he's okay, no matter where they put him.
