There is a huge difference between the world of today and when these 
others were considered moshiach.  The difference is 
technology.  There are literally hundreds of videos of RMMS 
available,  and I think that these keep him "alive" for his 
followers.  He won't be forgotten in the way the others were,  and 
hence,  IMO,  there is more to worry about.

Are there not still many Chabadniks who wear Y'chi yarmulkas?
