In a recent post to the SPSSX-L forum, John Norton mentioned "the late great David Marso". I was taken aback when I read that, because I was unaware that David had died. I subsequently found this obituary:

He was certainly a bit of a maverick, our David. But what a brilliant programmer. I learned an awful lot from his posts.

As many of you will remember, he also had a real knack for coining interesting terms like "ESPss" and "interneTelepathy". And he enjoyed trying to stump the rest of us by posting things like CEFGW without explanation. ;-)

RIP, David.

His knowlegde of SPSS and programming wit will be missed. I have learned so much from his examples.

Oh Wow...

I always appreciated his willingness to help. I also found myself quoting him one day "RTFM"

RIP

Re: David Marso

I have posted a few questions and David was one of the 'masters' who will always give me great advise. I will miss him in this site, but many, many posts in this site will surely show how helpful he was.
RIP.
