I saw him post recently in the last couple of months and never really noticed until I saw some posts about him a week or two later. Being usenet, I questioned if it might be some clown posting someone died (you know, they go on vacation for too long, all sorts of rumors happen and people like to cause drama sometimes), but in this case it was indeed true. > Is it a rude question to ask how it happened? I don't recall what someone said or know much about it. I guess he was ill and become weak and couldn't hold down food or water and then the notice about his death was posted by some people that knew him in person. -- Tim Greer, CEO/Founder/CTO, BurlyHost.com, Inc.
