This is sad - I was lucky enough to attend a small conference in Penrith UK about 10 years or so ago where he was keynote speaker - and he very kindly listened to me waffle on about my phd research on cyberfetishism. He had a patient and kindly aura about him.. one of those experiences not to be forgotten. A special man indeed. Trudy.

Rhiannon Bury 11/10/12 12:56 AM >>> What sad news. Had the pleasure of hearing Mark present at a conference once. The Second Media Age was of vital importance to my training as an internet scholar. My condolences to his family and colleagues.
