I do not agree with Yahoo's decision and I would sue them. I might not win, but I'd sue them anyway.
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

Oh god, I don't want my family getting access to my email accounts if I die! What's after that, my buffista ID? My LJ? Hell, no. Let it decay like the ephemera (profane, insulting and plain evil) that it is.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I'm with JSw. There might be stuff in that email that he doesn't want his parents to know about.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I agree with Yahoo.
I can't imagine wanting anyone in my family's stuff, and I certainly don't want them in mine.

You know what? If I'm dead, they can have at me. Who cares? I'm dead!
There might be reason to have access to email though...some financial statements come via that means and no other and if you have to reconcile an 'estate' there may be good reason.
Forums and LJ - I can't see any reason to have access to those after a person dies.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
The situation with the email--and I agree with Yahoo--sounds like a very good reason to appoint an executor to sift your bookmarks in case you die. Someone who'd be privy to most of your nefarious online life, and understanding of most of it. Somebody who could winnow the necessary financial stuff from the websites and posting boards, etc.
StY has my passwords. If I get hit by a bus, he's to come and tell you guys, and the other sites I frequent where folks might want to know.

Porn buddy!
edit, erm, not to imply your son and porn or anything -- just that Coupling thing where a friend is designated to de-porn your belongings upon your death.

Given what happened over at the Bronze, you might want to mention that we're going to need some kind of proof. Ya know, a certificate of some sort, or maybe an ear.

Ears are not definitive enough. He could just have her locked up in a closet somewhere. Eyeball? Heart? Something with commitment.
