: This board is NOT meant as a CNN channel for these events.
: I think out of respect for those who have lost loved ones, we close this board down for the day.
This is how I see it.
Closing down a web board, which is really a method of communication more than anything else is really futile and insignifigant gesture.
Your hearts in the right place, with the desire to make a observation of a kind, but your proposal really is pointless. its like unplugging your phone. but if you close down the board, your unplugging everyone's phone, taking away a bit of freedom, and appparently people drive planes into skyscrapers when that happens.
