I had the sad duty to announce the passing of Dr. Angus Pearson, retired professor of CS here at UT, and realized that there was no news-group to let the net-community know about it. Which got me thinking that I would like to know when a colleague passes away, and that a group for such announcements might be appropriate. Sad news is news too ..... and I really did not want to contribute to the unfortunate glut of net.general

I do not think this is a good or would-be-widely-practived idea.
