Last night I posted re the motif: a traveller finds the person s/he has come to see is dead. There were 2 negative votes on the grounds that I was seeking opinion (just wrong) or a list (pedantic). Suggestions are surely not 'a list' in the sense: 'Shakespeare's complete works'. This is fantastically self-defeating - SO is supposed to be for sharing knowledge! I would appreciate support to correct this daft situation.
