Received a feed today, telling me that
last Saturday, both names in this topic heading were lost in a crash.
I checked, but couldn't find any references to the tragedy here.
It was attributed to the BBC, so I assume the truth of it.
Sad news, and R.I.P. Mark

Apparently, this means absolutely nothing to our Members.
I'm so disappointed.

Apologies Mike, it does mean a lot.
I had watched a live stream of Mark getting his Public Display Authorisation just a day or two before the incident. So sad.

A tragic loss. Thoughts and prayers for Mark’s family and friends.

I don’t really believe this to be true Mike. There could have been any number of reasons for the lack of responses.
I my own case I was on holiday in Greece at the time and not paying much attention to the news. Of course this is very sad event and a tragedy for his family and all those that knew him. R.I.P Mark.EricT

My thoughts initially, Eric, but as of today, there have been
80 views and that includes these three responses. Perhaps the other 77 were non members who did a Google search on the topic

I'm sure a lot of people have seen the very sad news and it certainly will mean something to them. I know I did, I just didn't come here to talk about it.

I would not say it means nothing. I read about it the day it happened, did check to see if anyone had commented on it, but since details were sparse and I did not feel I had anything useful to contribute I did not say anything.
