Besides, he didn't come on here and say "Hey (blank) just died, let's discuss it and please be serious." It's a general thread about if somebody dies here, and it wasn't until later in the thread that he mentioned someone may have died, so I really see no need to be so serious about this.

I know. I wasn't trying to be uptight, I just felt that the thread was starting to stray a bit, and get a bit too jokey (and I understood the laughter as best medicine aspect as well). I was just trying to bring it back to a bit of seriousness is all.
And I co-sign what Rob said. I do think of you guys as like pen-pals or something. I don't do myspace or facebook or any of that crap. But I'm always here.
