A WEST NYACK, N.Y. MAN was found dead at his computer apparently the victim of trying to keep up with too many professional forums. Childress H. Wanamaker, 54, an account executive at a New York-based new media company, died of starvation according to the West Nyack coroner's office. Wanamaker's emaciated body was found by Loraine, his wife of 26 years, who told MediaPost she had been bringing her husband meals on plastic trays for weeks, but that he never took the time to eat them. "He was glued to his computer 24/7," she said tearfully. "He was so afraid he was going to miss an opportunity to contribute a comment or start a discussion, that he just stopped eating." She added that Wanamaker's last words were "OK Picard, stick that in your pipe and smoke it..." Computer forensic specialists from SUNY at Cortland discovered that Wanamaker was subscribed to 48 different forums and networking communities including one apparently having to do with the elderly called "oldtimers" and another apparently limited to just 100 people. They also found that he posted a comment into one forum or another on an average of two per minute every hour of the day for the past seven weeks. https://publications.mediapost.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=Articles.showArticleHomePage&art_aid=29415
haha..gud one.but its kinda stupid thing.y wud some one die of posting in forums?may be he had some desease.
"He also contributed to 375 blogs and was expected to start an online column about the impact of interactive communications on health, when he died." "A virtual memorial service will be held online at a date to be determined. " that looks like a spoof to me. anyway, he is reminiscent of many on this forum.. "It looks like he just sort of randomly commented on whatever was in the discussion string at the time,".. "He let nothing go by unchallenged by his own point of view, nor failed to respond to any other community member asking for advice or a new job" many like that here!
um.. ya. its a joke... its like www.bonsaikittens.com - its all a big joke.... dont fall prey to it its still funny wonder which will be the first of us to fall dead to this disease
I can also die...bt not like the way the man did... bt in some good style...i.e. before dying write a note like this-"I am dying because of my selfless indulgence in so and so forums...So i want the police to stop those forum sites at once" hehehe..*kidding*
i'd solved the problem long back....not quite https://indianguitartabs.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=892 but still... my desk is big enough to accomodate the occational plate of grub and a few cups of tea/coffee/fruit juice. and besides i am a member of only 4 forums... :rock:
