GZ is merely under the delusion he is a therapist. I think there is a word for that.

And I believe you when you say you miss her. I cannot fathom it, but I know you, and I believe you.

I don't believe I could argue it is "nice" to say anything bad about anyone. It isn't nice. But sometimes I find it useful. So I agree with you- it is not nice. I know. And I've never tried to be nice on SI (as you know)- I've seen no point. It is mostly fallow ground. Although the occasional flowers bloom- and we probably all see the weeds and flowers differently.

I actually like the idea of billboards in the cemetery- but that's me. You've no idea how much that appeals to me. Both the humor and the truth of it. I like the idea of all one's life summed up by people- those fer and agin' you- and written out there over your tomb. But then- not being a religious person, I think accounts in this life are only settled by memory after you are dead- and so it is important to balance out the collective memory if you feel it is out of whack. If it makes you feel any better I would have nothing but nice things to say about you. I know you weren't worrying, but I thought I would say that anyway.

Edit:And as I said after bashing the weeping and wailing about Princess Di and Kennedy- I would never show up at a 3d funeral and trash the deceased, no matter how much fun that would be. But this internet stuff is apparently much more "real" to some people than others. Which is weird.
