I dare say that Phred was the most popular PTalker of all times. His posts were some of the first I came across and I thought... what on Earth is he talking about! But I soon got used to his writing and so enjoyed it! He was so funny, but also level headed, serious and very helpful. I still have his e-mails and his long explanation of what kind of fire extinguiser I have and how to use it. I would have loved to meet him, but at least I got to talk to him on the phone a few times.
