I would like to point out that the [“Bye , Opal” memorial thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=684883) has, so far, reached 13,800 views-all in barely 15 hours since the first, sad, post.

This appears to be a record for the most views in such a short time.  
For someone who hated short lists of two items----- 13,800 is an appropriately long list of admirers.  
Not everyone knew her, but everyone knew of her.  
Let it be said: We Dopers have a website and a community we can be proud of.
