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.
Goodbye and farewell
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.

So sorry to hear this Derek. Thinking of you.
Wish you peace and comfort

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

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