Yeah, I've seen the post and was very impressed. As by many others, especially those by the man's friends.
But there's not much I can do besides be angry and fight harder to make research freely accessible. I and many others never met him, so it stands to reason that he means something different to most people than to his friends. I'm not going to pretend that I'm personally saddened by this death, or strike a tone to suggest that I am - that would be disingenuous. For me, this is a reason to be incredibly pissed off.
