    It was sad to see them end it on a note like that, yet refreshing to see them do it in an unpatronizing and genuine way....

    Didn't see the telecast, what did they do? And for what purpose?

    I did not know Artie Currie until the news of his passing but from Dan Rafael, to the HBO crew, and Winky's comments, he must have been a really good man.

    That's what I was thinking. Even Michael Buffer got choked up. Must have been a great guy. Very sad: so young.

    I only 'met' him once or twice via email, but I'm choked up about it... can't imagine what it's going to be like in the offices there over the next few weeks.
