I for one will miss Karda. I peeped in on some of the arguments others had with him and more often than not I agreed with him or his position. From what I saw, he always seemed to be fair and tried to stand up for others, but it is none of my business and there are probably sides to him I didn't see. As I was reading through this tribute, I suddenly found myself awash in talk of rats, and furry folks, and snakes. As with many times in my life, I felt a bit lost, and had to look at the thread title to see if I was even still in the same thread. Surprisingly enough, I was. Oh well, some things (most actually) are above my head, but I did want to let Karda know that many will miss his contributions.
