Brian Hamilton Kelly used to post to this group from time to time, IIRC.
Sadly, I've learnt from a post on demon.service that he died recently
from Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. This was only recently diagnosed, although
he had been ill for a while.

That's very sad news - he will be greatly missed. He was indeed a regular
poster here - most recently on 8/8/05, as far as I can tell.

Yes, this is very sad. Although I've only been posting to ucle for a
short time, Brian's great knowledge of language was evident, and
appreciated. My condolences to his family.
