While I have not recently lost anyone and cannot address from that
perspective, I might fit in the later category. I can't say that I
would be bothered about the question from the perspective of agism.

I think those who would be bothered from that perspective are those
who are looking to be bothered by something and they might latch onto
that. 

Why WOULD I be bothered? I hate being interviewed by those without
imagination and without the ability to think on their own.
