Met Rob at a couple of the Vegas trips, and he was a great guy. Full of enthusiasm, he was never afraid to share a great story, and noone let out a louder blue streak when he gave up a 1-2 grand slam to lose a game. He was fun to battle, fun to hang around, fun to join for a few brews. RIP, tycobb.

Amen, Trey. I was in a netplay league with him, and a business trip took me to Denver about four weeks ago. So I went over to Rob's place and we played some games, talked non-stop, and had a great time. It wasn't long afterwards that he was gone, it's just impossible to believe or understand.

Pardon my French, but fuck...

I come back here after months/years even (due to Tim..hey, Tim) and arrive back to hear this news.

Fuck.

Not to be melodramatic, but I'm metaphorically pouring a 40 over the grave of the Georgia Peach right now, and I hated that son-of-a-bitch.

Fuck.

For those who "fuck" offends..and I'm guessing "Ty" who be the first to tell you that that's your problem...here's [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8qdw39bDOo]a tune that reminds me of the man's friendly rage...[/url]

Okay, maybe that's not working via these bored...sorry to make one copy/paste but here's the URL:

Harry: Sorry, I was away a few days and missed your reply. Getting back in touch sounds like a wonderful idea. I still have the old email, and would love to catch up (and maybe play an online league, if that's still being done these days). As for this place, I must admit it still reminds me of Neil's song "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere." No offense, but it took me about an hour just to navigate my way back to these boards.

Not to mention the Browser-voodoo the SOM site does. It puts a spell on my Chrome that puts a hurt on my nose. How's that for musical metaphor mixing?
