I have a feeling Austin is going to be flooded with replies to his

It may not be valid to reply in certain ways, but it is *never* invalid
to stay at Callahan's. (High traffic, now, I can understand... :-) 
As to original intent, I don't see that it's changed -- to what are you
referring? (Note that the Callahan's *do* describe suicide as an option
in some situations.) 

At any rate, I don't mean to drag you (kicking and screaming) back into
the bar. Farewell.
