morbid..maybe..scary..a bit..thought about it..never..

A good friend passed away last year. Another friend told me a story of how some of the new age spamming programs fucked with another friends head. Picture this - someone close to you died, a friend, colleague, family, months after they are gone you are at work and your mailbox goes ping you've got an email from them. Actually it's not them but it's just one of those weird spam programs which asks you to join their friend's network or contact list or whatever the hell it maybe. What would it do to you? would it make a chill go down your spine?would you be able to smile about it later?

I have my friend who passed away last year on my messenger list and he usually shows up in the first few names which are offline. Today I contemplated deleting his name... and when I hovered my mouse over his name - guess what it says, "Right click to see ways you can interact with this person".
