I'll weigh in on this discussion, because it's been bothering me ever since it happened.
I admire c0ld, and I enjoy being a part of this community... but being someone who preaches always about how one should never allow themselves to become "interfended", the fact that he allowed himself to become interfended should bother him far more than anything Jerry could have said.
Jerry was an outspoken member here, and outspoken people are prone to pissing other people off.. trust me, I would know. That said, Jerry contributed more to the community than many other people. His power meters are known around the world, and have been used by many professionals. He is full of electronics expertise, and would often help people here with circuit design and diagnosis. If you ask me, he'll be missed.
