I remember being 12 years old and obsessively reading through fravia's pages into the morning in the mid-90's. On a whim, I e-mailed +orc. He responded so kindly that it had a significant effect on my interests and attitudes. I'll always remember that time fondly. It's too bad fravia passed. His legacy lives on in those he influenced.

I wonder what is out there today that feels like the enlightenment that fravia's writing provided back then. The links between technology and philosophy, in its original meaning as the love of knowledge. Fravia really helped form my worldview. Going back and reading it again, it doesn't feel the same due to how the internet unfolded over the last 20 years.

I wish I had thought to reach out! Glad they were nice!
