Well Pen, first of all, I am sure all of us here at the DtT would care if you died.

And as far as those who are noteworthy, I don't think that it is any different than for those who are not famous. When anyone dies, the obit, the write up, the eulogy does exactly that...shares their highlights, their good points.

There is good in everybody. Why remember the bad? Although the truth is that when some die and they are not popular, their conduct and such that made them disliked gets discussed all over again. Like when Jerry Falwell died. His opponents had a field day with his death.
