I guess this was his last post on RATMM, at least in a Google Groups search:

As another RATMM legend would say, fuck.

I regret never having the chance to meet him. He was a funny, friendly
guy, and he'll be missed.

Bill was one of the guys that got me into MSTing and one of the
guys I took style pointers from. He will be missed.

No it just isn't. I treasured his posts in RATMM since I first started
reading it in 1994. He was incredibly funny and obviously a very nice
guy whom some of you were lucky enough to meet in person. What a
tragedy.

We can keep his memory alive by reading what he wrote. Joe has a bunch
of his MSTings on his website (Joe, please supply your URL). Maybe some
of you can compile a list of other sites where Bill posted his work.
Read him, won't you? You'll have a great time.

Indeed! I imagine that if St. Peter attempts a "Bill Livingston, I
presume....", Bill will reply with a rejoinder of so high a funny-
level that mere mortals are not worthy of it. And, ala Mark Twain's
"Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven", he will employ it, to good
success, when he goes on tour!

Adding my best wishes to his family as well. Bill's host segments
were among the best. It's been a while since I've read some of Bill's
greatest hits... now may seem to be a good time to revisit the laughs
and anguish.

Oh, yes, absolutely. I don't have nearly all of Bill's MiSTings;
besides the site redesign I'd hoped he'd upload more of his own since I
figured he'd have better archives than I had. But what I have got is on
hand at:

http://www.nebusresearch.com/mst3k/search.php?wanted=mister& amp;for=Bill&by=title&order=ASC


The ratings scores aren't fair to the work; for most of them I
couldn't recover Web Site Number Nine's old ratings, so they're blanked
out to a neutral 5.0, which his writing certainly doesn't deserve.

There's also the MSTing Mine website, that has links to those that
were posted to Google Groups.

Scrolls down to find Bill's.

A belated dammit.

I'm mostly in lurker mode now, but I've always enjoyed Bill's posts.
Reading his obit, I realized that apart from the church stuff, he and
I are nearly the same person.

I'll miss your posts Bill. 45 was way too young.
