How to live a long life....
 
It's easy.... Just live in a particular French village....

I found the following news story today....

The mayor of a French village, whose cemetery has run out of space, has told people not to die. "It is forbidden for any person not in possession of a family vault to die in the village's territory," he said.

Unfortunately, the article didn't say which village it was.... Maybe they were getting a rush of visitors who were looking for immortality? What better place to look than where death is illegal? :)

Ah, if only things were that easy.... :)

Dien, just do same thing the Mayor did for THIS forum. Then get publicity with press release...
 
For Immediate Release

The owner of SOWPub has issued a special note/alert for participants of his discussion board
"it is explicitly forbidden to die or get sick on the board"

Dien Rice got this idea after reading a news story...(the French Mayor Story Follows).

Then the positive outlook of the board is stressed.

Simon
PS
I am not joking.
Please let me know if you DON'T intend to do this.

I really like it!
 
Simon,

That's a great -- and incredibly creative -- idea. I really like it!

We haven't issued any press releases yet, but that's always been on the cards. I'll discuss this further with Gordon (my friendly ear and wise sage of preference) and we'll decide what to do.... :)

But THANK YOU for the idea.... I LOVE it! :)

Dien
