Farewell Greg Newton

I only spoke to Greg Newton (of the Naked Shorts blog) twice and my email box has about a dozen emails. 

He died suddenly recently.

I want to second Nihon Cassandra's fitting obit.

Post script:  I have rejected several anonymous comments along the lines that he was (a) crooked, (b) revolting, (c) better dead.

I have always seen him - even in the title of his blog - as poking fun at people who deserved fun poked at them.  He was a little more vicious at the people who were bent.

The people who are picking arguments with him I am happy to publish in the comments - so long as the posts are not anonymous and the arguments are detailed.

My view- the nasty(but not rationally argued) comments about a dead guy tend to show he was onto something good.
