I did interact with Naggum in a limited fashion back in the mid/late 90s when I briefly worked as a writer. I can't recall the specifics, but he was deeply involved in a number of heated discussions on the no.general Usenet group. I sought his opinions in relation to one of these as it made for an interesting story. I found him fiercely intelligent, strongly opinionated - and he probably made himself vulnerable by getting too personally involved in the topics. Yet, he spoke to me respectfully. I was very sorry to read of his early passing only just a decade and a bit later.
