You people are being ridiculous. "The Great TarkanX," "In Memory of Tarkan," give me a break. You talk as though he died or something, and this is his funeral, and you all are giving the eulogy. You miss him so much, go talk to him on AIM, his S/N is in his profile. But whatever you do, you need to stop acting like him leaving is the end of the world, and that now we are all required to pay homage to him by following a ridiculous set of politically correct rules, made up by YOU. How would ceasing to post in this topic "keep the memory of TarkanX alive?" If anything, it gives ##### to the community the opportunity to see what kind of person he was. But apparently, around here, letting an intelligent debate fade into obscurity is a good way to "keep someone's memory alive." I fail to see the logic in this.
And as far as the possibility of this topic getting spammed, it already has on more than one occasion, IMO. Welcome to the XMvSF forum, where no topic is spam-free.
Oh, and one other thing I'd like to point out, those of you that take the time to post "let this topic die" are just as guilty as everyone else. You could have just PM'ed them to tell them that, but instead you bump the topic right back up to the top with your redundant message.
