   If a family member DOES update a page,   
   the officious Wikipedes will revert the announcement   
   and wait until someone who heard it from someone else   
   he believes posts it instead.   
      
   This goes for a family member announcing a death   
   OR correcting a false report of a death...if it   
   wasn't invented somewhere else by someone without   
   direct connection they don't want to hear it.

   The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,   
   at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
