Thanks, Dave, although you bring very sad news.
I interacted with John mostly in this forum, where we shared our dislike for the "new" (Jive) version of the Forums since it was implemented. I remember him mostly for his kindness, never posting an angry or disconsiderate response in spite of several attacks he received.
According to his profile, his last post in the forums was on July 20, 2010, here:

Five days before that, JJ sent me a PM with a message he intended posting explaining his reasons for finally leaving the forums. He had been toying with the idea for several months, but continued posting hopelessly hoping things would change for the better. Unfortunately, this did not happen, and apparently he never posted his farewell message.
I think that John Joslin was such a good man that he wouldn't have objected if I send a copy of that message to any participant who asks me for it.
And I will miss him. I always though of him as a good friend, even though for obvious reasons we never met.
