Ryan gave me some devastating news this morning--apparently our Karl (who was very active both on the Rockman as well as the old mailing list) was killed in a car accident earlier this year.
He was one of the first I met, and always my favourite poster. We debated over how wasted Gary Cherone was in Extreme--I sent him a video of Freddie Mercury's Tribute 8 years ago--JD sent him a bunch of Jim CD's to help replace the ones he had stolen once. We exchanged obscure Meat/Jim recordings through the mail before Smeg had his vast online resource.
He had impeccable taste, a biting wit and one hell of a bright future. He was also a contributer to Jim's 2000 Yearbook (which is still online) which Xavier put together and many Rockman fans contributed to.
I understand he has a myspace tribute page but it doesn't load for me--plus I'm not a member.
This is so very sad. What a loss to the community and the world in general.
Leesa J
