May you read in peace. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;read in peace&quot; where we&apos;d expect &quot;rest in peace. I&apos;m guessing that this expression was intentional, given that Aaron was a voracious reader, and considering the eloquence of the postscript[0].&lt;p&gt;This is the first time I&apos;ve read any message from Anonymous (and my understanding is that there is no &quot;one&quot; Anonymous organization, but rather a loose collection of fragmented groups), but I am quite impressed by the author&apos;s command of the English language.&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;[0] Postscript: We tender apologies to the administrators at MIT for this temporary use of their websites. We understand that it is a time of soul-searching for all those within this great institution as much — perhaps for some involved even more so — than it is for the greater internet community. We do not consign blame or responsibility upon MIT for what has happened, but call for all those feel heavy-hearted in their proximity to this awful loss to acknowledge instead the responsibility they have — that we all have — to build and safeguard a future that would make Aaron proud, and honour the ideals and dedication that burnt so brightly within him by embodying them in thought and word and action.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;p&gt;edit: it also seems that the closing line, &lt;i&gt;&quot;You were the best of us; may you yet bring out the best in us.&quot;&lt;/i&gt; is an original phrase by the author? (a quick google search didn&apos;t yield any prominent matches) It is a beautiful line.</text></comment>
