I agree, it would be a nice tribute.

Ya, loosing him cam as a real shock. I would back any effort to have his name added to the offica SE V systems name list. As narm said, it would be a nice tribute.

I have nothing but fond memories of Bill. I often think of the good old Lurk Report. His name here on the forums was mlmbd (Mon Loves You Best Dude). I like to think that the 'M' could also stand for Malfador, but that would be playing favorites. I think Bill would get a kick out of that, and I have no doubt that he is now and always will be the 'ultimate lurker' in this forum.

Dude, we miss you. Save us all a nice spot in the 'Bar & Grill' on the 'Other Side'.

I raise my glass in toastig mlmbd and the fond memories we have of him...

Cheers!

Do we know what his forum name really meant? My brain always read it as "Millenium Buddy". Though, I can't exactly say why. Don't remember if that was posted at some point or if it was a total fabrication of my subconcious.

He is missed.

As DG pointed out, it was the line "mom loves me best, dude" from some film or other.

It definitely did NOT stand for "mumbled" as some of us interpretted it...

Oh, I thought that was David's guess. I didn't realize that was confirmed.

I seem to remember him explaining that it's a quote from Tommy Smothers. I've heard that name somewhere but I don't know who it is.
