I knew Garth only though the AA but I had the pleasure of a number of exchanges with him. Garth had a wonderful sense of mischievousness and humor. He might take a run at you and would make a mental footnote to expect the rejoinder at some future point; he had every intention not being caught unawares!
Of course the whole point of such playful antics *was* to land the sneak punch, to collect a deserved Touché from the opponent. He played hard, and he enjoyed it thoroughly.
However I discovered that he didn't much time for malice, nor holding grudges. If a "contest" was getting heated he was quick to perceive the wish to tone it down, and often initiated the pullback himself. Then all was fine, I liked that, a delightful and colorful character.
...
Of course Garth was also a powerful source of information in our cherished portion of the hobby, I learned a great deal from his posts, especially those where he was doing the battle with the other informative heavyweights, again just a little hot spice to tickle the pallet!
An interesting and informative man, a *delightful* curmudgeon ... he will be missed.
Bon Voyage Garth, don't take any wooden nickels (as if that needed saying!)
