I'm sad to announce the death of my father, Eric W. Crew. He had
precipitated in alt.sci.planetary for the last 6 years.
Eric died on 2nd December 2005 aged 89 after suffering from a stroke 3
weeks ago.

Eric left a final script that extends his ideas about the Cydonia
features which I shall post on his website in the next few weeks.
(www.brox1.demon.co.uk)
I helped my father out in the past with the computing that has gone
into some of his theories and I plan to do some systematic statistical
analysis on some of his ideas in the future. It's mostly molecular
sized things that I work with but the methods scale up quite well.

II know some of you in alt.sci.planetary think he was a mad crank and I
have to agree that some of his ideas were slightly crazy but he was a
free thinker, which is such a fine quality and I'm sure he will be
missed by many in many different ways.

We fought like cats and dogs in this group for a long time...but I
always had the feeling that he enjoyed the rows as much as I did. I'm
very sorry to hear of his passing and send my condolences to you and
your family.

He was clearly a total nutter, but he had a good innings.

I could never agree with much that he said. But he will be missed; he
was a real character for whom the internet gave him the platform that
he needed.

Make sure he has a good send off.
