Very sad news. Just who is going to ask us if we are dense now? We didn't always see eye to eye but I've got a lot of fond DCFan memories. I'll wager a lot of people here are richer for having known him.
i sparred with him a lot on the politics board, but he was always friendly and good natured. I always hoped to be able to meet him in person and share a beer with him. He just seemed like a really really nice guy.
