I'll hate myself in the morning, but, instead of calling it alt.holidays.suicide, how about alt.slaybells? -- "You can't add cold. You can only take away heat." -- Stan Fine, co-developer of Fino-Cardian Math

Actually, alt.slaybells is an excellent choice. Everyone now reading this discussion will know exactly what the newsgroup is about, years later. :-) [ooops, I have to remember that groupnames are merely to tell us what hierarcy they belong in, not what's in them...] Oh well, it still sounds good. As to whether we need it remains to be determined. > -- Stan Fine, co-developer of Fino-Cardian Math Ed. A.

[I don't have to wait until morning, I hate myself _now_ for that one!] And of course, one for lady dogsled racers named "alt.sleighbelles". Yes, the possibilities are endless! <<<Groan!>>> Sorry I even ever subscribed to this group long enough to be tempted into the above excursions into bad taste. Please don't blame the nice people who have extended me this temporary account; they would never promulgate such inanities. xanthian@well.sf.ca.us Kent, the (bionic) man from xanth, now available as a build-a-xanthian kit at better toy stores.
