I remeber Gene's and Steve Kimball's Gnubile. That must have been over 2 years ago by now, hasn't it?

I agree with Vawlk. But nonetheless, it's sad news. And considering that Gene Kan was the same age as I am when he passed away, that's scary...

He didn’t pass away; he committed suicide.

I C. I didn't read the first link you posted, but the second one, where they noted it was as a result of an accident (figuring it could have been a car accident or so). That's even more sad and scary then.
