Yeah, that's the quote I was thinking of.

As for the "die a horrible death" thingy, people that know me will know
that I use this phrase to mean "go away" in a general yet humorous
sense. So it's not meant to put those precise words in Larry's mouth,
but just that Larry has voiced his opinions it might be nice for =~ to
go away.

I doubt anyone on the list has actually suggested anything "die a
horrible death" literally. ;-)
