One man was 92 and expected to soon die. One was 50 and died unexpectedly. Both had lots of threads here, most of which said basically the same things over and over with each OP believing they had something so unique to say that it merited its own thread.
My question is rhetorical and should need no answer. If Walter Cronkite received no threads today it would in no way diminish his importance or contribution to our lives. (In the same way that how valuable or important a thread may be cannot or should not be measured by its number of Recs.)
