Is it right that this excellent site includes obituary notices for freelance broadcast individuals and well known personalities/stars ?
Ariel -oddly-love to swamp their obit pages this way-but I don't feel it is right we copy their editorial style.
For this site-I would suggest-STAFF ONLY PLEASE!  

I rather concur with Caro, personally. I think that the broadcasting world we were fortunate to inhabit brought us into contact with so many different people that their "staff" status is rather less than relevant.
Over the years, I was privileged to work with many people/contributors who were never BBC staff, but I remain as interested in their lives as those of the BBC-staff I worked with.
My only disappointment is that there is so little information about the many thousands of ex-staff members who are out there! Perhaps that's because they are  totally ignorant of this site's existence. I've mentioned it to many ex-SMs, ex-TOs and ex-Engineers, none of whom had previously heard of it.
I wonder, could it not be somehow 'connected' through those in HR, such that information on those more ordinary members of staff could be made available? I do not seek to break any confidentiality or privacy, but trying to find ex-members through Facebook and Friends Reunited alone (for the generation which completed their service before computers came along) is rather too difficult at times!
