Dead People on My Buddy List

I imagine this to be - on a much smaller scale - like the woman who has to finally get rid of her deceased husband's clothes. (I say "woman" because women outlive their husbands almost always.) Some people do it right away, but I've heard of people who can never bring themselves to do it, because it's too final. It's a part of the grieving process, I think, and it takes some people longer than it takes others to come to full acceptance. You'll delete their names when you're ready.

To answer your question, though, I don't have any dead people on my buddy list.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
