Neptune for those who pass on land, Poseidon for those who pass OTW?  Morbid?

Can the login just remain active?
Rather than retire it, just let them stay as if someday they'll log back in...

There's just something special that happens in my mind and heart whenever I see Mooch's handle show up in my unread list, when someone has tagged on another comment to a thread he started, some from years ago.

I wonder if we're preventing him from RIP?

I spent this week in Singapore and lots of places sell fresh calamansi juice.  A couple of times I bought a glass and drank it on his behalf.

being  a newb here I don't want to tread where I may not be welcome.

Since I did not know Mooch and the other members you all know and loved ,there might be a way to elevate their status as a tribute to their life and their continuing spirit..If you think it`s off base that's fine and I would understand....maybe elevate them to either Posiedon (Greek) or Neptune (Roman)

 Greek and Roman mythology has them both gods of freshwater and the sea.

Just an idea.

Great idea, and remember The Gods never rest... well only on the 7th day.

Why would we consider retiring the handle that belongs to Joel! Elevate his status if you want but the handle "Mooch" will always belong to Joel. His spirit will live with us forever!!!
