Maybe. I am Facebook friends with a few people here so they would probably see something. No one has been instructed though.
Just asked youngest son. He wouldn’t notify board and doesn’t think mom would think of it. Oldest sons would probably think of it but just not do it so this board would probably never know.
I had to do this for my step-mom. My dad wanted all her accounts closed like 5 days after she passed. His way of dealing with the grief. TG for her password list next to the monitor. I spent two weekends opening up all her logins and trying to determine how active she was on any given site. Only two or three were worth notifying. For those I sent a PM to one of the more active posters that she seemed to have a rapport with. I didn’t get her Facebook account closed for some reason. 10 years later I still got a people you may know invite in her name.
I’m sure that if the Dope were informed of my demise, the collective response would be “who???”
While my wife and kids know I spend significant free time here I doubt they’d think to notify. Given that I do not expect a sudden demise the subject has not come up for discussion. My sudden unexpected death would leave my family with other more immediate items to attend to, and real life notifications to make.
If I suddenly stopped posting and anyone both noticed and was curious it would take very little work to find connections to my real life and an obit or such.
Not bloody likely, as no one I know has anything to do with this board.
If it comes to that, remember Stephen King’s words in The Stand, written about one Irma Fayette, I believe: “No great loss.”
Peace to all.
Next, in a young kid’s voice say: I see dumb people…
Reminds me that I need to discuss this with my wife, along with who else she should contact. I haven’t been as active so I’m not sure that a disappearance would be noticed.
Don’t you live in San Antonio? If so, PM me, we’ll have lunch and set up a cross-functional deathwatch.
