I say, "No, thanks."  We really don't care.  Hell, we don't even know
the guy's name!  How does Ansuk expect us to feel sympathy for him?

      ^^^^^^^^^^^
        and I suppose you want his address, phone number, social security
number and date of birth also.  Give me a break!

What a heartless thing to say!  BJO-B doesn't speak for me.
Why does knowing or not knowing someone's name make such a difference?
Why are you reading net.suicide if you feel so indifferent to suicidal
feelings?  Or better yet, why did you feel you should post this?

Be careful when you speak of "our" sympathy, "our" feelings.  You're
speaking for yourself.

Gary, I do hope you will post some result.  I at least would like to
hear what happened.  BJO-B can "n" past it.  And thanks to Andrew Fine
for an excellent article in reply.
