I thought "Obit" was a legit prefix for obits, regardless of whether they are music related, and that the Mudcat Authorities then decided which should remain above the line. (Except there is no line in my case - all threads are mixed up together.)

Have I got this wrong?

Whether you have got it wrong or not, I don't know, but IMO it is (or should be) wrong.

I would have thought only obits for musical artists should be above the line, and politicians etc. below it (unless they have some sort of legitimate connection with music - like Blair, he plays the guitar doesn't he? I'll get me coat)
