Thread Name: Obit: The sad passing of Common Sense
Subject: RE: Obit: The sad passing of Common Sense
Sorry, should have been BS but I could only use one prefix...

There should have been no conflict. It is BS – it is not an Obit.

In my opinion, the Obit prefix should be reserved to mourn the passing of noteworthy people and salute their achievements in life. It should not be used to add gravitas to cut and paste articles or to groups of thoughts not related the loss of an individual. To do so belittles the sentiments in the true Obit threads.

It only takes a bit of common sense to see the difference.
