    ... would you want the people on this site, or any other, to be told ? I know it's a bit morbid but the point of the question is just how much do you value you "virtual" friends ?
    That's Mr Mullet to you, you mulletless wonder.

    i value all of my friends very much weather they are virtual or not, i would want them to know

    Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.

    Well, yes, they are still people. Just because you may never meet them face to face it doesn't mean that you are friends and that you would have no regards for their feelings. Well that's how i see it anyway.
    Now, aren't you sorry you didn't just keep on scrolling?

    Unhappy If I were to die

    I wouldn't care about my virtual friends as I would be dead (and wouldn't care about anyone).

    Still, I would have thought that it would be highly unlikely that any members of the vb-world forums would be informed, were any of them to kick the bucket.

    Perhaps I shall put it in my will: 'In the event of my sudden demise, please post a thread in the "Chit Chat" forum of VB world entitled "Another one kicks the bucket".'

    When I got in my car accident this weekend, I thought about that. I know a few people that would really notice if I wasn't posting anymore. Maybe some of the people who haven't been posting lately.....oh, never mind.
    Normal is boring...

    I asked myself this same question a few weeks ago...I'd definitely want you guys to know. Remember the cliche: "Friendship knows no bounds".

    I've thought about this topic a lot of times before. Especially about a year ago. before that I talked to a friend daily on ICQ, then I had to go for about a month or two without a computer, and I thought about what he may have thought happened to me. Well, when I finally gained access to a computer, I talked to him again. He thought I'd died or something and he was a bit worried, at that point, I'd only known him for about 3 months... it's been over a year since I first met him, and I still talk to him everyday, I really don't know what I would do if he "kicked the bucket", he is one of my best friends. I would probably be as sad as if it were family that "kicked the bucket". I really haven't thought about it much since that time a year ago, but if it did happen I would be devestated, as I would for most of the members of VBW....

    ...*Dennis wipes tear from eye*... ahh what the hell.. I love all you guys too ... *sniff*..

    Well Honeybee seems to have a plan to get re-incarnated

    (If we stop hearing from you should I start looking in the hives at the edge of the garden?)

    As for caring - you come looking for a few bits of VB code and end up finding this community of really nice people - I'm sure this isn't what Bill Gates had in mind for basic at all
