I just had a phone call this afternoon from Steve Paget's son. Steve 
posted on these newsgroups as St. Sadly Steve passed away on the third 
of January.
As well as being a contributor here Steve was the force behind the 
TC-RTC challenge and set it up at his own expense.
I met him in RL a couple of times the last being just before Christmas 
when he was in fine fettle. He will be sorely missed.

Best Regards,

Could you pass on our condolences to his son?

I don't know who is selecting the next topic for the IRTC but can I make 
a suggestion? Let that be 'Last post' in honour of st.

Very sad to hear that... He made lots of wonderful contributions over 
the years. Missed sorely indeed.

So sorry to hear.  Makes me want to know folks as more than just a handle and a
style of RT.
