AI Thread 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.

All obituaries in one place for 2024 instead of individual threads?

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.
