enigmatic people such as Lion, who would go out of his way to alienate
everyone in sight on occasion, water off a duck's back for those who knew
where he was really coming from and appreciated his creations, insights,
knowledgebase and ongoing projects.

That's what I have to say about that all one way business...

Yes, very much so because of what they accomplished that you and I have
used and enjoyed.
Your issues with them are not my problem. Lion left behind a treasure trove
of wonderful resources, most of which I posted here are made available for
download.
Eric left behind another treasure trove of public posts in a variety of
discussion forums, unique and valuable. My communication with him before he
passed showed me what kind of person he was, articulate, helpful, outgoing
and dedicated. You and I strive for similar goals. Yours is your business
and mine is volunteerism and building a knowledgebase I use all the time
(that's why I post so many long messages, to get the info into the
searchable archives).
