How would we know if someone died. To us it would like they just stopped posting, but it could be that some of those members died and we just don't know about.
I have arranged it so that if I don't post for more than two months, an automated procedure will take over that starts posting random text. You won't know the difference.
But anyway, you've given us a great new metaphor for dying. For example, did you know that today it's exactly fifty years ago that German dramatist Bertolt Brecht stopped posting in East Berlin at age 58?
Please mark me down as an atheist.
