It is unfortunate when this happens. One of the Mudcat Tavern threads picked up on an unusual name in an obit to apply to a character and since she had contributed a lot of scholarship on something or other her name easily came to the top in a Google search, and Mudcat with it. I have a whole thread of articles with sometimes uplifting, sometimes informational, many times the really oddball stuff that comes through reading various online papers. I suspect a few of those may have made it into the song challenge domain. Discussing the news is a fact of life anywhere in the world.

A Google search on "Brett Arnes" comes up with a lot of remarks, not just the Mudcat set.

Bizarre behavior foments comment. I suspect that in this instance, the heirs and friends probably need thick skin, because it's going to be talked about. Better to ignore it and let it go away than reviving threads and bringing it back to the top again.
