Member's who have passed away.

Maybe the administrators could disable a deceased members PM's...

Possibly, but we know that in the case of Tom, his family really enjoyed reading the comments in all his threads, and particularly those of a eulogy nature, posthumously. I doubt the pm's would be of much interest, but who knows.

...and leave a loving and polite note in his avatar or signature, along the lines of "Our dear departed friend and eternal member"?

That might be a little odd.

However, this is certainly something meriting thought, IMO.

Just the tiniest of eulogies might accomplish this and be a class act.

This a real downer and now I’m getting depressed, I’m sorry so sorry to hear about the passing of a member who has come to share with others.

[Maron Horonzakz]

I,m getting up there in years too but I dont think any one here would care for my absence

Hmm, how about an OLDEST member list? I'll be 81 in January... I'm sure I'll be here soon,, but hopefully not too soon..
