I think there are two separate things going on here Jonny.

Yes without a doubt, Annette has way too much on her plate to be answering questions. I wouldn't refute that for a single minute.

While I can't speak for everyone's motives, I do know people who are genuinely heartsick over this. They are hurting for Annette and they want to provide some small words of comfort.

We had a memorial page for Kip ourselves remember? People like to be able to say "Bon Voyage" and to give love and support to the family left behind.

We've all signed guestbooks or memorials or whatever you want to call them for many many people and in itself, people asking for one is "normal".

It isn't the custom in every country. For me myself, the first time I ever saw one was here on ch.com (barring Princess Diana) Its a new thing as far as Brits are concerned but I think it's wonderful and a lovely thing to have for ever more.

Peoples questions are absolutely too much now, comments - whatever you want to call it but remember, this has come as a big shock to everyone. No one is thinking straight and I am certain that the majority of people want to comfort not accuse. A sudden death is a terrible thing for everyone.

If I die and there isn't a memorial page set up anywhere - I hope someone here would set one up for me.

I hope this helps, where ever and who ever needs it.
