When my grandfather passed away, my Mom announced his death with an e-mail (cc'ed to my brother) that had the subject line: RIP Grandpa. That was the first thing I saw when I logged into my inbox. I was in grad school at the time and thank goodness I wasn't in the computer lab because then my classmates would have seen me burst into sobs. Oh, and THANK GOODNESS Facebook wasn't around back then. A lot of people absolutely do not understand Internet boundaries and my Mom is (or was, after I oh-so-gently schooled her) one of them.
