I'm sorry, but to claim there is no general consensus on what an obituary is, because no one can agree what "BS" means to Mudcatters, is ludicrous.

An obituary is one of the oldest, most commonly known forms of writing. To suggest that Mudcatters haven't figured it out yet because it's "new" in this forum is insulting.

I clicked on the thread because it said "OBIT" and was followed by the name of someone I didn't know. What I found was NOT an obituary.

And as to Lepus Rex--indeed, if you have no interest in dead pop stars but managed to find something you didn't like that someone said, your only apparent contribution here is to bitch at others to make yourself feel better.

Which is no contribution at all.
