I am another forum lurker. I remember when you first joined the forum and noting how fast your post count was going up. From all the other replies on this thread it seems unanimous your contributions and personality were appreciated by most.

I'm saddened to see the news of your prognosis and wish you peace over the coming weeks. You will be greatly missed.

It's heartwarming to read the comments in this thread, yet so sad it's usually under such horrible circumstances that people get to see/hear such thoughts about them.

I've really enjoyed the optimism, humour and advice you've spread on here over the years. Not only patient and helpful with newbies, but also a nice tonic to some of the cold numbers chat!

Also enjoyed the touch of madness you've brought to the forum at times

Best wishes to you, mate.

Never had a nasty exchange with Derek on here, not a single one. Takes character to post such an update. Derek you will be remembered fondly by me as someone who never rose to the bait. Comfort and serenity to you.

I reverted to lurking here, years ago, and only saw this by accident. Simply wanted to say how shocked and saddened I am to read this thread and to give my best wishes.

Terrible news.

One of the most combative of conributors, but pretty much always correct which is a unique quality. I wish you well.

I've made some good friends on this forum which I regret not meeting and also made some of my very best enemies.
Much love Derek, thanks for taking the boredom out of my trading sessions at times. I'll catch you on the flipside.

Honestly though, it's been a pleasure. You're probably one of the main reasons I stayed so active during those golden forum years. They were a blast for me, I was often just laughing my arse off :D

Btw, this gif might look familiar. When it comes to internet wrestling and minor tomfoolery... best damn partner I ever had 🏆
