[Interest] L Word

[Rui Oliveira]

And so we lost one of the most active, contributing, and knowledgeable 
members of this mailing list.

Cue "the worst trade deal maybe ever signed anywhere" meme.

I was thinking of putting him in CC but I don't think I should bother 
the man.

I sure did respect Giuseppe, and I can totally get behind his no-BS 
personality.

With wishes of talking about code again,
Rui
