8. hey there.....thank you for your reply....i think you might be referring to andy stephenson......

.....who was involved in fighting election fraud after the 2000 election and who died from cancer quite a while ago. i remember the right wing garbage, mainly freepers, mounting a campaign to shut off his access to paypal and other platforms people were using to fund-raise for him to help pay his hospital bills. i actually knew andy stephenson personally....i met him in a political forum before i joined DU (and i joined DU a long time ago). he was living in seattle and i was living in austin, which was actually his home town. he would stay at my house, or the houses of other DUers, when he would visit austin back in the days before he got sick.

my post here was referring to andy, who was a member of this photography forum, and who passed away very recently after a short battle with cancer.
