Dr. Bob,
Now that sar has passed on what becomes of her writings? Her family might not be happy to hear of published studies regarding their daughter's or sister's or cousin's suicide.
The ethics here seem clear when one looks at them from a perspective of what is right and what is wrong. However as a researcher you do not approach things from those angles.
As a moral courtesy to the posters who personally knew sar and those that knew her through the board would you please contact her family with your presentation so that they know what is being done with her words years after her death? And if that is not something that you will do then please explain why here on the board so that we all know what is going on.
The sense of sar's death being administratively mishandled still stings when I think back to that time or reread posts from that period.
