In this computer age, it is sometimes strange that a person's posts live on after they do. Knowing that they have passed and can no longer contribute helps those of us still here who perhaps would not know why that person is no longer posting, etc.
I know of some other forums where this is done, and it is both helpful and appreciated. Just a thought.

Frank, that is an excellent idea. I can see where today, for instance, we have had a few mistakes like that because some of us wanted to revise some of Steve's older posts and it caused confusion to others that didn't realize he had passed away.
Tony, Jan, Darrell, ??? what do you think? We've had Muncle and Steve, two extremely valuable and noteworthy posters who have both left us... I think Frank's suggestion is excellent and I hope you all agree.
