Every time there is any sort of accident reported on PPrune the bandwidth is taken up with messages of condolence and RIP type posts, often from people completely unconnected with the event. I myself (cynical bast..d) find them a bit superfluous and almost a case of posting for the sake of it.
There are some exceptions but it seems a bit over the top to me on many occasions. I am not saying that all accidents resulting in loss of life are not a tragedy but do we raelly have to post public condolences in many cases for people not directly or in some cases not remotely known to us? I think that the posting of such can be trite and in many cases is best left unsaid.
