Let me briefly add my voice to the the number who've already commented on the tragic and early death of Dean Barnett. I didn't know Dean personally, but I can say this: whether you agreed with him or not, Dean was a damn good writer. Many of us will miss reading his work - and that's the highest compliment you can pay to someone who made a name for himself through the power of his words.
