Hi Keith,

The post does nicely capture one aspect of Joel's special character. I still think of the comments I received from him on papers and dissertation drafts whenever I comment on student papers. He had an unusual ability to provide comments that effectively engaged the writer of the manuscript in an ongoing scholarly discussion of the substantive questions. Reviewing a manuscript with his comments was almost like having him in the room discussing the paper and the relevant questions.
