I'll hate myself in the morning, but, instead of calling it
alt.holidays.suicide, how about alt.slaybells?

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.

Sure, and then to add to the confusion, we can start a "how-to"
newsgroup for Jack-the-Ripper-wannabes named "alt.slaybelles".

[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.

Might I suggest "alt.SLAbelles, to discuss Patty Hearst ?
