Haha.
You of all people should.
Look, I'm sorry if Albert has died, its not nice for anyone close obviosuly, but one cannot actually take it entirely at face value. Due to these 'callous people' of the internet etc, people do fake these things, for no apparent reason, other than to cause a reaction. I'm not being disrespectful towards his relatives and friends, because I'm not an idiot. The interet has real people in it, but that does not mean it is the same as real life in any way. If somebody told me someone had died that they knew in reality, I would be sad for them, because it would be so much more believable. As it is, I am very sorry if he has died, truly, but it is an internet forum. People are weird on the net. Not neccessarily Alberts friend, but their idiotic natures mean that trust is one thing that simply does not exist between people online.
Sorry, but thats the way I feel.
Business like that should be kept personal. How would you like it if you dided - then someone started posting about you on the internet?

Perhaps because Torax believed we had a right to know too?
Here we have no way of contacting people. We don't (for the most part) have each other's phone numbers, addresses, or know their friends or relatives.
Friendships form online as in real life. If you died, you'd want your friends to know, wouldn't you?
Ahh, the good old days of me scaring you on MSN. Oh, how I laugh about those days now.
