While I'm gonna miss the times my friends and I have spent laughing at what a chaotic and ridiculous life that man lived, through all of his antics, he really didn't contribute anything except tax fraud to the world.

  Well, he came from the computer industry, and like him or not he was a colorful character. I thought he was pretty amusing until he (apparently) decided to deal with a problem neighbor by having him killed. He does exemplify some of the old 'wild west' internet spirit, in ways.
