To msbelle's questions: a PhD received overseas would not be findable in Dissertation Abstracts, but if an academic ever published any article at all (in the US or abroad, including in foreign languages), it would probably turn up on Google Scholar or a for-pay site like Web of Science. Adjunct Professors usually show up on faculty lists as "lecturer," and there were some lecturers and staff people, some not Phds, listed on the UWEC site.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
If dear Gus has in fact died, I think he would enjoy this thread discussion. That is my personal view.
Heh. I'm imagining that when I die, someone tries to Google "Sunil Patel" and is like FUCK THERE ARE FIFTEEN THOUSAND OF THEM.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, but this one is actually you, right?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
thanks flea, I appreciate the knowledged response. That was factual and helpful information that in no way insulted me nor anyone else on the board (at least the way I read it). Just exactly the kind of post I love.

That it is!
Huh, that's a pretty good article. I'm surprised I wrote it.

If dear Gus has in fact died, I think he would enjoy this thread discussion.
I think he'd consider it the best wake ever (except, maybe, Tim Finnegan's).
That he would. Though I suspect he'd prefer a bit more scotch.

Hee, more than a few Laura Holt hits out there as well. Enough of you have hugged me and been to my home to know I am for realz.

You know Trudy...
upsets of actual family members.
I am doubting that there are actual family members and that they're actually upset because I don't believe anybody has died. My doubts are entirely reasonable based on the information we've gathered here.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Yes, but when we google Sunil Patel with "Veronica Mars" and "Avatar: The Last Airbender" you're fucked. We'll find you.
Trudy, I agree with everyone else. You seem a lot more concerned with the feelings of people who may never see this discussion, and even if they did see it, might understand it and be reasonable.
Your comment on gossiping is condescending.
I'm not trying to belittle any contribution Gus made to this board. He was very smart and witty. But before I make a contribution to a charity in someone's name or mourn for them, it would be nice to know that they're actually dead.
I've had to track down obits before when an acquaintance has died. I've asked family members about obituaries and service information. I've been asked about that kind of information regarding members of my own family who've died. I didn't find it insulting.
