Normally I wouldn't give people like you the courtesy of a response, but this time I am going to bite.
Steve Mills was not only a very good friend, a close family member and a consumate professional, but he was also a gentleman of the first order.
Something which you may consider wishing to aspire to but I very much doubt you'll ever achieve.
I am sure he was. At what point did I indicate otherwise? And at what point did you gain the right to insult me?
I would suggest that if you are so emotionally engaged in this guys death that you see insult to his name in every comment and have to respond with venom then you are doing an equal disservice to the memory you are trying to protect. Perhaps time to step back and leave the keyboard alone.
His death is absolutely nothing to do with the discussion in hand.
