> Well, I'm glad I only got a PCB. I've had my say so have no further need to rant at Miller. I hope I've made my point over the suggestions for suicide & also the idea of doing a "controlled experiment" on how many would try to kill themselves if given the instructions. Thank you for being understanding, medlib.

> I really don't understand Miller. I hope this person responds back. I looked back to see what other posts were written by this person. Due to the very bad migraine I had for a few days, my memory was pretty crappy. Miller has posted otherwise normal, even cheerful posts. This is why I'm completely flabbergasted at these suicide ideas. I just don't understand. I hope Miller clears up any misunderstanding.

> I'm glad you see his/her posts as DIScouragement, Racer. Maybe they're meant to be - I sincerely hope so! Perhaps due to my distress, concern, anxiety for Tina from her message, I'm taking matters waaay too seriously, but I know I'm not the only one. If Miller says that these ideas were meant as an exaggeration to paradoxically emphasise the horror of killing oneself, I'll apologise - profusely even. I have no problems with retracting my words & asking them to forgive my error.

> But I'm not sure. And of this moment, with no return answers from Tina, I'm still very worried. One doesn't have to know personally every last poster on PB to be devastated at the thought of another suicide. One doesn't have to even know what their real name is & how they look to feel the collective guilt when another poster extinguishes their small flickering flame. The light goes out for the entire board.
