The last thing I want is for my family to google my name when I die and see all the stupid stuff I've written on these forums. Why isn't the confidentiality of a poster's ID preserved after death?
Why not just report "Belgian Peter Bogaerts died." And then a year from now if someone who didn't know him in real life asks on another thread "Hey, why did Boomer stop posting," someone can who knew him could respond "He died."
You are the guy that digs up posts of history past,
And here, on this post, you are asking the question.
Why can we not ignore the history of posters and just acknowlage their death.
This has to be the first time you fell foul of your own rules of posting.
