I still think it's a pity that this thread isn't inclusive. It should be a useful reference tool, but as things stand, it isn't. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was meant as a joke, no doubt. Just thought it was a funny notion that this site would be a tool for someone researching who's died. Certainly won't see me browsing Wikipedia for this stuff. Much prefer the off-color banter here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YOU? Your sentence is completely the opposite of the truth. SC Whatever your mind is telling you, this really is a discussion thread, meaning that people can come along and post about someone who has died, while others are free to engage in discussion about the deceased person, abuse "guest", occasionally wander off topic, etc. However, SHOUTING isn't encouraged. You appear to have various firmly held beliefs on how this site should be run. Just wondering, but have you ever considered setting up a forum, or even a reference tool, of your own? It would be a glorious opportunity for you to impose your strange ideas about posting etiquette on others and have things exactly as you'd like them. I only ask because, based on the available evidence, I don't think anyone here is complying with your various demands? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SC I've read that the younger you are at the time of the diagnosis, the better is your prognosis. So Stephen Hawking has a normal life span, Joost van der Westhuizen is hanging on for now, and Richard Glatzer died relatively quickly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
