Thread:Comments:Wikinews mourns loss of volunteer John Shutt/This is a bit belated, but..........

I put something on the talk page, but really: More appropriate here. I will say again: that man was the GLUE around this place. When people (and I'm not excluding myself from the list!) would get emotional or ego-driven or whatever, he really knew how to re-focus everyone back onto what really mattered. A place like this, in order to succeed, needs selfless people......and he rocked in that department. I never met you John, but I really miss you. We exchanged many comments, notes and remarks. We lost someone important around here when you left this Earth.
