[Platapus]

This discussion would have been inappropriate in the Mush Martin thread, but in reading that thread, it did raise a question for me.

As social media presence becomes more common and in many case important to people, what can/should happen when a person dies?

Many people might like to have such notices as we had concerning Mush Martin. To some it may be much better than just having a member not posting any more.

But with computers being locked and websites having separate passwords, plans need to be made concerning a person's posthumous presence.

So that actually raises two separate questions

1. Do you want any type of announcement on your social media about your death?

2. Do you have a plan where a trusted person would have the necessary information to be able to make such an announcement?

I wonder how many of us have actually discussed this topic with their "life partner" (how ever that is defined these days)?

I can imagine this might be an uncomfortable topic to discuss, but for some it may be important.
