I can echo Bernhard's sentiment; I only ever traded private e-mail with
Rudy, not tapes or anything, but I always found him to be intelligent,
witty, laid-back, pleasant, helpful, and polite in all our correspondence.
Even when we were arguing opposing views, he maintained an amiable and
engaging civility that is rare to find on the Internet nowadays.

I'll miss him.

Cheers,

Paul.
