Sad news ... CowboyNeal, dead at 28 (Score -1, Troll)

I just heard some sad news on GNAA radio - Slashdot Editor/lard mountain Jonathan "CowboyNeal" Pater was found dead in his Michigan home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to internet culture. Truly an American icon.
