    He died the other day. Very sad. Not the former SI mod who hasn't posted in 3 years. The real matt johnson from big wednesday. Jan michael-vincent.

    No disrespect, was just trying to understand if it's the same person he is talking about. I never met the real dude, only the mod.

    Oh, a little more detail would have been helpful, perhaps a link to an article? LOL I saw this already, but thanks. You got some people thinking the Swellinfo dude died I think....

    Kinda weird that he actually died on February 10, about a month ago, and it just got out the last couple of days. I think he was a recluse.

    Yeah weird no one here mentioned it until now, too, since the hokey classic is so funny, and now he's gone. His character was supposed to be like lance carson, but he was like that in real life, too.

    Sorry i was referencing the former mod because he was prominent and then i think crashed and burned forum-wise, but it was garbled in my flawed transmission.

    Perhaps, that was about the time I became active on the forum I believe, so that's news to me.
