James Jessiman was an AFOL who worked on a program for drawing lego pieces
etc..and to make instructions out of them. The result of his work is found
at http://www.ldraw.org , a commonly used program for rendering lego creations.

Sadly, James died a few years ago at a young age. As a way of remembering
and saying thanks, the LDRAW homepage has a memorial for James and for the
work that he began.


Simon has put a link on his own page (see the original link) with the words
"James Jessiman is Dead...deal with it NOW". Despite that it links to the
memorial page, its a rather tactless way of doing it.

No, no, NO!  It DOESN'T link to the memorial page, it links to the
image archive of cheap Inet statuary.  I have no problems with the
memorial page, in fact I think it's really good.  What I'm against is
the cheapening of his death and the ideal to turn him into a demigod
of the Lego community.  In fact, if the image archive is taken off,
I'll take the link button off my site.  The memorial has NOTHING to do
with this at all.

Todd,

Is there anything we can do about this clown? It's one thing to have a
personality that nobody else seems to like, but trying to fake someone elses
name in a NG is downright irritating to the extreme. TOSs him out again...

I can see your handywork already Todd. Thanks.
