My Name is Tara. My Husband Andrew Press, whom you know as Bageena . Passed away suddenly in his sleep yesterday. My husband and I often joked that I was the wife and MetaFilter was the mistress. It must have had something to do with the countless nights I would wake up to find him sitting in front of the all to familiar blue screen of knowledge and hilarity that is MetaFilter. You all were like a second family to him. I hope that his presence to the community will be missed since he was such an amazing, and bright soul we have all lost. Please accept my apologies if I have broken every rule in regards to making a MetaFilter post. Thank You ~~ Forever Mrs.Bageena

No, you have broken no rules at all. This post will probably be moved to metatalk.metafilter.com, however, so do not be alarmed if it leaves here and reappears there.

Your husband will be missed very much.

And, because you don't follow the site, you probably don't know the customs.

The single dot posts are a mark of honor in his memory. Think of a combination of "a moment of slience" and "I have no words."

Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."

Oh my. My condolences. I am so, so, so sorry. I can't imagine what you're going through right now.

Yes, these post might be moved to the other part of the website where more community-type things take place, but don't worry about it.

Again, you and your family are in my thoughts.
