Another really bad idea

The parents of a U.S. Marine killed in Iraq in November are asking Yahoo to release all his private email to them so they can "remember him in his own words." The cooler heads at Yahoo are denying the request, and as with any of their free email accounts, the Marine's will be erased after 90 days of disuse. (I've lost one or two that way.)

This is a perfect example of why distraught people shouldn't be allowed to make big decisions. I don't blame them for wanting something of their son to hang on to, but I doubt they've thought through it. Just imagine what's in a 20-year-old Marine's email account. If they think they're distraught now, just wait til they get their hands on that.
