David Broder Dead: Washington Post Columnist Dies At 81

I'm sorry that I didn't get a chance to read it.  When a member of the 'establish­ment' passes, you see the rest of the establishm­ent gather, circle the wagons and hold a public celebrator­y wake for all the others to see that their loyalty to the order of their thinking will be rewarded post-morte­m.

May I suggest that you take out an blogging account at WordPress or Blogger or TypePad and link all of your postings here to that blog.  That way, when a comment is removed here there will be a record of it that you can point readers like me to.
