I will post as I see fit. You should do the same, of course. I think your commemoration of Yuan Longping's death was a good call

Most of the deaths I become aware of I know about because of the internet or thanks to news apps on my phone.

I recently commemorated the death of my uncle after hearing about it in a phonecall.

And the people who died of covid in the residential block behind my house, I heard about it by word of mouth, although I am told it made the national news here.

So, no; it's not always the internet that's my source.

I think this post by you 5-6 pages ago has been your best contribution to this thread in the last few days.

Is it too much to ask that posters in this General Forum thread just stick to informing readers of actual deaths ?

They may not agree with his point of view, but we usually put up with each others' postings. What would this forum be like if we stopped posting. We usually don't get annoyed with posts we don't agree with. What we do mind though is if we get too much off topic, which we are now.

For your information, aside from the internet, I also hear about deaths from news apps, neighbours, and family.

a question

if kevin clark is not well known to imbd, but HAS been trending for the last two days on twitter (only one metric for determining popularity or interest) is this sufficient evidence of notability?

the measurement of a person's popularity, or notability, is quite sloppy
all manner of weight is given to a human being's persona


on my own personal note
as i attempt shed persona from my persona
it remains

EDIT:
to trend on the twitter is not an easy task
to do so for nearly 48 hours IS an indication of "not obscurity"

i once trended on twitter for 28 seconds by licking a bottle cap
