Hopefully States will return. He was a valuable contributor, in my opinion.
Oh agreed
Ditto. I never understood why some people had beef with him - sure, he said some pretty outrageous things, but most of them were just to get a reaction anyway. He had strong beliefs, but so what, by and large he treated you the same you treated him, and when it came down to it he was a southern gentleman through and through.
Not quite sure why I'm talking about him in the past tense, as if we were at a wake, but there you go. He'll be back.
