Click For Summary
The discussion centers around the idea of consolidating tributes or announcements related to deceased individuals into a single location. Participants express strong opposition to this approach, arguing that it diminishes the significance of each individual and their contributions. Keeping discussions separate allows for a more organized and respectful opportunity to honor each person's influence and legacy, especially when multiple announcements occur around the same time.

Agreed. I vote NO.
It also gives a more-organized opportunity to discuss the person and their contributions and influence,
especially in the case when there may be two or more recent announcements.
