Guest phil tintner Posted January 5, 2006 Wow. Just found the deathlist thanks to a colleague. I suppose I should be making some real contribution but I just wanted to say I think the list is like the Economist of the Deceased. Great stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canadian Paul 97 Posted January 5, 2006 Oops. I posted this in near misses. Why did someone start a new thread for this? (I'm actually curious if there's a reason, though it doesn't come off that way) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,233 Posted January 5, 2006 Oops. I posted this in near misses. Why did someone start a new thread for this? (I'm actually curious if there's a reason, though it doesn't come off that way) Yes, you did it properly. All deaths that are not on the list should be reported in the 'near misses' unless they have an existing thread. We are not supposed to create new threads for every deceased celeb.
