Thread Name: OBITS and manners
Subject: Tips for OBITS
Lets make a list of tips for writing and responding to Obits. The last OBIT for Aaliyah left bad taste in my mouth.

1. Don't criticize the Post. If you have more Info add it. If you have questions ask. If you want to whine about it, start your own thread, preferably with a title such as.

WHINE: I don't like the OBIT for Mickey Mouse.

2. Don't Criticize the poster. Personal insults are just childish.

3. Never Never Never make blanket statements like. "I don't like the Way GUESTS do 'x'" or "THe Mudcat Clique is always doing 'y'."

Sorry about the rant, But I had a vision of my funeral where everyone spends the whole day discussing the church parking lot.
