Bob, you wanted any follow-ups about your PCB to be directed to Admin, so here it is re: http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/social/20021022/msgs/31894.html
I do understand jokes about suicide for depressed people doesn't come across as that funny at times (though other times it's just such a joke that will make one laugh). But I assume you're talking about the last picture that you're giving Roman a PBC. I'd like to point out, though, that it's not a joke about suicide. It's a joke about that very irritating stupid paper clip office assistant that keeps popping up (unless one turns if off) on Microsoft Word whenever it assumes that you want help whether you ask for it or not.
See? That's what I mean about being a deputy moderator. It would never occur to me to ask someone to be supportive of others & give a PBC for that link. It was just very *funny* & it seems that many agreed too.

That paper clip offering to help with the suicide note cracked me up, in that "dealing with painful issues" type of deep laughter. Dark humor can be very therapeutic.

> TabithaHumor is great, but is in the eyes of the beholder. It's not *just* about the paper clip, otherwise it wouldn't be dark. But this one I'd consider a judgment call, and if a deputy moderator wanted to let it go, that would've been OK with me...

I have a feeling that if I hadn't posted "suicide by pastry" in the subject line, Dr. Bob wouldn't have looked.
I apologize.
