Happy Birthday

I don't know you personally, but I was still saddened when I saw notice of your death on BetaOne's home page. There is enough dying going on right now in the world. I feel it was in very bad taste to make an announcement about someone's death, even if it was meant as an April Fools joke. And to post it on the home page?!

I feel I have as good a sense of humor as the next guy, but this very much diminishes my respect for this community and those who maintain the site. If your desire was to anger folks by your posting, then you have succeeded marvelously! I know apologies have been made by the person responsible for this, and I accept them.

But I would have expected more from BetaOne

P.S. I posted this here because the other topic was shut down and I needed to vent my disgust. In my mind, the matter is now closed.
