Not here; asd and smn, IIRC.

Quentin was human, and he was fallible as are we all, in our analysis
and thinking. But it was never for lack of thought or effort at thinking
things through.

One way we often differed was in his focus on measurements of components
of food and their theoretical effects and mine on clinical outcomes as
the real measure. This was one of the glories of our communications,
because we were each working a completely different side of the equation.

His mind was just so fertile and searching at all times.
