It's been 10 years? Sheesh. I would say "you've sure missed a lot, dear brother DUer" but I'd actually suspect - NOT. I'd imagine Khephra has been keeping close track, all along, and closely.



Khephra!

Reading the posts that mourned him made me realize what a great community this is.

I joined in February.

May he rest in peace.

If I remember correctly,
Khephra's thirst for breaking news was the seed for
the Late Breaking News Forum we enjoy to this day.

I remember being so proud of myself one time when I scooped him on one. Those were the best days of DU.

It seems as if he was here no more than two or three years ago.

With all respect to many of the wonderful DUers we do have, this place is a little lesser without him.

It doesn't deem like ten years ,,, I think of him often when wondering what he'd think on something.

He posted a well-rounded list of LBN topics every morning, without fail.

Cool guy.
