It's certainly a shock, Steve. So young, you never know, you just never know.

I've already posted on Basschat where I knew Nick a little better, he was a true original, very humourous and always giving pause for thought with his bright and often funny posts, Basschat and this board are poorer places for his passing. My deepest condolences to his loved ones.
