Oh, no. What was the matter?

RIP.

**nmnrIjGB** · 08-19-2009, 03:46 AM

That's a big taker of lives. This bites.

**avaincmolla** · 08-19-2009, 03:49 AM

A true voice of reason has been lost.

**pipojambo** · 08-19-2009, 03:55 AM

I'm so sorry to hear that. I knew he was sick. Up until a couple of months ago there was hope that things would work out for him. Then things took a turn for the worse.

**PRengine** · 08-19-2009, 04:01 AM

Damn.

RIP.

**Lvnufcdc** · 08-19-2009, 04:06 AM

Very sad news

RIP

It is with great sadness that I inform you that Adam Smith, the Apolyton poster, who contributed to SMAC discussions, independent civ projects (IIUC) and to this off topic forum, passed away, peacefully, at home, this past Sunday morning.

I had the privilege of knowing him in person and working with him, as well as seeing his posts here. He was a good economist, and, more importantly, a fine, kind, humorous human being. The world is diminished by his passing.

How do you know and how did it happen?

He was a great guy. This is terrible.

He and I used to work in the same place. He moved to a different agency about 2 years ago, though I ran into him at a professional conference in January. His wife, apparently informed someone at my agency (his old agency) who sent an email around. We will probably go together to the funeral, which will be on Thursday.

**Les Allen** · 08-19-2009, 05:22 AM

Damn. One of these days I gotta get around to picking up that book he recommended. In the meantime, RIP. I'm sorry I didn't know him better.

A very sad day.

He was one of the most interesting people here, and in person when I met him at a Polymeet.

**rhiniddibiarmr** · 08-19-2009, 08:00 AM

NOOOO!!!!! Everyone who posts here is supposed to live forever!

I liked him because, even though I'm sure he was a bit on the conservative side he always came across as nonpartisan and only interested in the facts. That's becoming a rarity these days.

Plus he had a Calvin avatar. How could I not like him? RIP, Adam. I'm reminded of your sig...

Old posters never die.

Grrr, cancer sucks. Adam, you'll be missed.

LoM, Link to an obit, maybe?

**Rexaviennatutr** · 08-19-2009, 08:33 AM

He was definitely one of the best posters around.
