net.suicide Summary March 1 - March 31 by cbosgd!ccf

	There was quite a bit of discussion so far this month.

	The romantic nsc!chuqui reaffirmed his belief that suicide must
	be analyzed along the axis cowardly/heroic, and thoughtfully
	wished for the swift destruction of those who are so stupid
	as to disagree with him.  Evidently nsc!chuqui has read a lot
	of dog stories.

	proper!gam, no fan of dog stories, has consulted his
	introductory psych text and announced his impatience with any
	ideas not in line with the excellent psychomedical reductions
	he found there.  (Why, it is depression that causes suicide,
	of course!  When you admit that, you can have your shoelaces
	back.  There aren't many surprises in psychology.)

	The poet mincemeat, returning from a brief absence, threw
	nsc!chuqui into snarling confusion by appearing in several
	places at once (this is why you never want to let a poet use
	your bathroom), showing that human motivation is not necessarily
	limited by dog stories.  nsc!chuqui withdrew to his cage,
	sulking.  proper!gam is taking the matter under advisement.

	gatech!spaf, fisher!bae, and shark!hutch expressed pleasure
	at the quality of the net.suicide reviews.

	Finally, others too numerous to mention submitted thoughts
	of no interest to readers of these excellent summaries.
