	Gosh, and I was just [fondly] remembering the days when
	net.suicide was hotter than net.flame.  Guess it's gotten a bit
	serious these days (it is a serious subject, but one that's
	awful hard to deal with in a forum like this, seems to me), so
	perhaps I'd best take that advice myself and SHUT UP too ...

"The other day they waited, the sky was dark and faded,
 solemnly they stated, "He has to die, you know he has to die."
 All the children learnin', from books that they were burnin',
 every leaf was turnin'; to watch him die, you know he had to die."
