    Sheeesh, where do people come up with this...  I cannot ever imagine 
taking my own life.  I guess I just look at things too logically.  On a 
similar noter, last Sept, a friend and local sysop killed himself with a
shotgun placed against his head..

    Well, his first attempt was hanging, that didn't work, then he tried the 
shotgun approach, as above, the third time was overdosing on pills, they 
pumped him out and he survived.  He's now married and has 3 kids.  I 
eriously
wonder about his kids and wife's safety.  He's moved way up north, but being
that unstable, I would not be surprised to read about something him in the 
future at sometime.  Hopefully the family will not be involved.
