	After several months of inactivity, net.suicide once again
	sprang to life as mr. mincemeat made a "bold" bid for control
	of the newsgroup.  Historically, this newsgroup has always
	benefitted from authoritarian direction; both the quantity and
	quality of submissions increase discernably.  However, experienced
	readers agree that mr. mincemeat lacks the charisma
	and steely discipline required for leadership.  While comparisons
	with rabbit!bimmler inevitably surface, it is clear that Ms.
	Bimmler's ability to command respect (arising equally from admiration
	and fear) is sadly lacking on both counts in mr. mincemeat's
	indisputable makeup.  In this context, mr. mincemeat's pathetic
	contributions can be seen as nothing more than, so to speak,
	misdirected spray, perhaps the result of some tragic
	physical deformity.  Subscribers to the newsgroup trust that
	next time he will at least raise the lid.

	Other topics of importance in net.suicide included a few bits of
	gossippy history from Bob Lied, a request to jj to reactivate
	Bimmler's account on rabbit, and several exceedingly boring
	attempts at amateur psychoanalysis.  Our close friend, Gene
	Spafford, submitted a long, impassioned, well-reasoned and
	cleverly written article that seemed to be about nothing in
	particular.  Many suspect he is in cahoots with mincemeat.

	Well, that's it until next time.  Remember, in net.suicide,
	no news is good news.
