Concerning the Crystal Heart "incident", a brief information: Crystal Heart, one of our members, was announced to have passed away by someone using her account. Quite a few members posted their sympathy, only to find out later that it was a practical joke and that - thankfully, of course - she is still alive. Understandably, the inclination to accept such announcements at face value in the future is somewhat lessened.
