Hey, Anne Wiebe Hill, you say

> BJO-B can "n" past it.

but BJO-B can't.  Because I have to share this terminal with my officemate,
I must wear latex gloves at work, and I can't use the `n' key with
the freedom you can.  Be more reasonable!

> Why are you reading net.suicide if you feel so indifferent to suicidal
> feelings?

What makes you think I'm indifferent to suicidal feelings?  I have very
strong sympathies for them, as anyone who pays attention to my postings
could tell.  You must be confusing me with mit-eddie!frog!wjr.  Please
pay more attention.

And speaking of froggie, she speaks:

> I'd suggest that he find some way of opting out for a few days (or
> longer, if he chooses -- even much longer!).

Isn't that the whole point?

> I've dropped out and
> returned to school with considerable benefit from the non-academic
> learning.

Try dropping out a little longer, stELLA, so we can all benefit.
