Dai-Un's Memory

This brief snippet of catbox (appropriately named, you'll see) chat is reproduced to offer homage to a dear departed noder as well as demonstrate a bit of why I consider E2 the first 'online community' to which I really belong. I don't think any of us had actually met the noder in question IRL, but we had done better...we had his nodes and his master's voice - although I really don't think sensei would call himself Dai-Un's master, really...probably more like companion.

Infinite Burn as a tribute
<Infinite Burn> Dai-un was one of the charms that made me so fascinated by E2
