Damn, sorry to hear about this so late. Jophil was the last person on this site couple years ago that I contacted regarding a situation and he gave me some solid advice that I, like a fool, backtracked on. But wouldn't you know it, ironically I came back now to read his last message to me and I kicked myself for not heeding his words back then.
Anyway, this is really sh!t news that I came across so late to. Jophil, you were a good and honest man. Amazing how we can be literally across the world from each other but knowing that there is a human being behind the words typed on the screen can make you feel closer to the person than you'd have thought.
I'm sure the following summarizes jophil well:
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion." - Henry David Thoreau
. I received some great advice from him, didn't listen and, of course, regretted it later.
