Does running a web forum reduce your life expectancy?

[Simon43]

After DD's untimely death, I read that Peter Hogan, aka keeping_it_riel, the webmaster (until very recently) of Khmer440 - the Cambodian expat web forum, died yesterday after suffering a head injury at home in Phnom Penh (suspected fall on wet tiles etc, no suspicious circumstances).

Have any other forum webmasters had the same misfortune to die young?

wet tiles

carpet your bathroom

Or at least have a few grab handles and a rubber mat outside. Oh and don't shower when pissed.

carpet your bathroom

Make sure the carpet goes up the side of the bath for a touch of real class

And that about sums up why I have no class - because I have no bath - just a shower, shitter and bum hose.

If only I had realised all those years ago that class is defined by having a bathtub.

Does a fluffy, piss-stained rug around the shitter count a bit towards class?

How old was he? Did he own and manage a small hotel? Was he an avid CB fan and participant? How many ex-wives did he support? Smoker? Drinker? Drugs? I'd say running a Web Forum was light weight compared to you Simon.

R.I.P. and demo out that bathroom please.

I'm sure Simon has run his own forum before and lived to tell the tale.

Only three times....

Only three times....

The same person died three times?

Or, if reincarnation isn't the topic of discussion, who was the 3rd webmaster?

DD - Cancer.
Aunty Phil - Sense of humour died a long time ago.
CSSFan - Hope & respect for all humanity died not long ago.

Cheaper to carpet your feet.
