try to remember there are people out there who are fans though..
and that he did *alot* more than just his TV shows.
I'm not sure I feel so happy about all the joking in this thread *sighs*

I, stupidly maybe, am really upset by Steve's death.. he was someone who did have a big impact on my life.. Yeah he may not have been a full on herpitologist.. but he did ALOT to raise awareness about reptiles etc.. He also did ALOT of environmental work in Australia. Did you know it was him who basically, single handedly, fought against package holidays where people would go shoot crocs? Australia zoo is a major player in breeding programmes to prevent extinction..
OK, how about all the work Steve did on venom extraction in order to develop life saving drug treatments?

I am sad - and I mean that in the strongest possible sense.

Please. Even if people don't like the guy, show some respect to those that did.
