[ExI] a moment of whatever you have a moment of, for sasha

[Alan Sondheim]

I'm just lurking here; I started a couple of lists with Michael Current, 
who has also died - Cybermind and Fiction-of-Philosophy (now Wryting-l). 
Sasha was on Cybermind and came to a couple of fleshmeets we had - I 
remember his warmth and clarity and good conversation - he's really missed 
by us. - Alan
