    From that. And trust me when I tell you I wasn't the only one. Not every discussion about this board happens in public.

    IJAG, I see your perspective and would certainly agree, but I just didn't read it the same way. What I got from it is there is hope for everyone with suicidal thoughts, and people with those thoughts aren't "healthy." They need support/medication/whatever to help them through what can undeniable be a debilitating state.

    And on that, we agree.

    I read it just fine as intended, no problem.

    IJAG, maybe you could go after all the bad spellers instead? Thanks.

    WTF? I didn't "go after" anyone. I didn't attack. I didn't throw names. I merely said I didn't understand, then said his explanation didn't make sense to me, and explained why.

    So WTF?

    Read that as 93Devil's awkward way of trying to say "I hope we can prevent suicide by helping to heal the minds of those considering it."

    But my Little Orphan 93Devil Decoder Ring may be on the blink.

    Apparently that's what he was going for, so your ring is OK!

    If you work at Gannett, quit already. Spare us this bullshit.

    I do not think it's right to assume that his suicide had anything to do with where he worked or what he did.

    It certainly could, but not necessarily. The garage might have been convenient.

    I do agree we should -- if you do -- pray for him and his family.
