Therefore ideally every death of note should be listed here, even when the deceased is mentioned in more specific threads. 38 minutes ago, charon said: Leon is indeeeed the Wizard of Earthshattering old news....

charon 4,943 Posted January 24, 2018 Double post. No point in wasting it. Walter Schuster died at 88 earlier in the month, won the second highest medal at something, a bronze, in some Olympic thing when drug testing wasn't rife. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you can't find the thread, by all means ram it in here, but when it is so old, go to the wiki page. Doesn't matter if it's posted a bit later. My thinking is that people might want to read through the thread at a later date. Yes, there's Wiki, but nothing wrong with having an in-house one-stop shop. I don't understand why people are so eager to sneer. Fine to point out a duplication when it appears almost directly below the first announcement, but I really don't see the harm in deaths being recorded in all appropriate threads. Many people don't have the time or inclination to search out and read every single thread. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,526 Posted January 30, 2018 Next Glee actor death odds: Naya Rivera: Evens - Had a domestic violence case dropped just days ago, is clearly on opiods and weighs about four pounds these days Matthew Morrison: 9/4 - If certain stories about Mr Morrison and another Hollywood power figure are true, these could drop drastically Lea Michele: 7/1 - Fucking nuts, but in a generic Broadway star way rather than a Naya Rivera way. The wheelchair kid: 100/1 - Not even a real wheelchair kid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
