See, it did it again. the double-dash omits text in the reply. Ooooh!!! If I
only knew that in all my off-topic debate posts! I could have really convoluted
the discussions! Grrr!!
I'll probably have my collection divided amongst family and friends so that all
my relatives who want some will have some. I think I have enough to accomodate
them all.
I'm for cremation myself. I'm not one with the rotting inside a box for a long
time. Of course, I'm dead so it won't matter either way. I think in this
instance, society has to take on that whole klingon 'the warrior is gone, all
that's left is an empty shell--do with as you please'. Me, I won't be in that
pile of chemicals anymore--what do I care what happens to it.
Eh, morbid thoughts.
Better note is that, as you say, I'll make others happy by them getting parts of
my collection--that's what's important for me.
