Your first bit of news is really horrible Eric, I'm very sorry to hear it.
Steve was a former Grex user (maybe M-Net, I forget the timeframe).
I knew Steve a bit and bought some audio equipment from him a few years ago.
He had extremely talented ears and was a very nice guy willing to share his
vast knowlege in the audio field. He was responsible for the tone of WUOM
and to my ears is one of the best sounding FM stations out there, mostly due
to his hard work.

I once called up and asked him for a notch filter because I lived too
close to the WQKL tower to be able to get WUOM on my radio, and he dug
one out of his desk and sent it to me by campus mail. When I saw him
late last week, I mentioned that I guess I should give it back in case
someone else needed it... :(

the other eWUOM engineer i knew (who got a royal screwing
from the "establishment") was James Paffenbarger.

i'd mention a too-much-influence naem of a person probably
responsible but the ppl's republic would react with
too much shock and awe .... those closet bushies.

You know, leading Scientists say that people who talk to people soon to commit
suicide, and "don't get [no] clues" are usually wrong. They did get clues
and just didn't pay enough attention to the PSTCS.

Well, there are clues, but nothing so obvious that you're going to pick
it up in a ten-minute conversation. And even if you're around the
potential suicide on a regular basis, the clues may be too subtle to
understand except *maybe* in retrospect.

Yeah, dah's post is bullshit. There is no way to read someone's mind. The
kind of clues he's talking about are probably about as accurate a predicter
of the future as the daily horoscope.

Would you please identify a couple of the leading Scientists you cite in
#305, dah?
I'm inclined to think johnnie and aruba are right. There are probably
more instances of the same kind of clues from people that do not commit
suicide.

If "clues" could tell you who was or was not going to commit suicide, no one
under the care of a therapist would ever do so. Their therapist would see
the "clues" and take appropriate steps.
One of the few remaining ways to have someone committed to a mental facility
is if they are a threat to themselves. It is still illegal to commit suicide
in Michigan, and anyone who knows that someone is going to attempt it is
legally required to report this to the police. If "clues" were really
diagnostic, there'd be a lot fewer suicides.

307: If you pay attention to people, which I and others do, you can often
grasp much more beyon what's directly said.
309: I heard it on the radio and don't remember the names.
310: Not all therapists pay enough attention to their patients. As well,
they're just clues; they're, you're right, not diagnostic; and that's, of
course, conmbined with the limited steps a therapist can take to prevent
suicide based simply on apparently lack evidence.

IWLTA that the Detroit Shock, the local WNBA team, beat LA in the deciding
game 3 at the Palace to become champs of 2003. This represented a complete
turnaround from worst team in the league last year to first this year.
In a bit of "history repeating", the Shock's coach Bill Laimbeer, once of
Piston fame, on a team that kept the LA Lakers from 3-peating, defeated LA
Sparks coach Michael Cooper, of that very Lakers team, thus keeping the Sparks
from 3-peating.

re 312: Yeah. How many attempted suicides have you prevented then? And
while you're at it, proofread your comments before posting.
re 313: Who's Michael?

I have, and while I could see that they were depressed, I would never have
thought they would commit suicide. The people who WERE worried about that did
talk to the person about it, and were assured that it was not going to happen,
several times (including that person's best friend, husband, and therapist).
I talked to the person on the day they committed suicide and I'll swear that
they sounded tired, but not any different than any other day -- so you can
imagine I've combed my thoughts a thousand times to see if there was any way
I could have heard it... because I would have done anything I could to have
stopped it, if I'd known.

I would like to announce that I've arrived safely back in Alaska after
spending the last 10 days in a 26 foot boat travelling from Ketchikan
down to Anacortes, Washington.
I had a fantastic time and if I ever get caught up everything else I've
been meaning to take care of I'll post an edited version of my trip log
as an item in fall Agora.

I'll definitely post something when I've had a chance to sort out my
