[AGL] Jaxon again

Tue Jun 13 13:02:02 EDT 2006

Help!!  If I delete the message I am commenting on, then how will anyone
know what I am commenting on?  How will commenter know I am responding
to him/her instead of just expressing some non sequitur?  Shouldn't the
sequitur and sequitee be contained together? I hate it when someone
answers an email but I am not sure which email they are answering or
what part of it.  So then I have to ask them what I said and then then
have to respond again. I am very very ignorant about email protocol in
general and appreciate suggestions.  I hope I have not upset anyone by
keeping the two comments together on this response.

Wayne,

Ever get the feeling that Gerry and Jon can be counted on to counter
whatever opinion you express. I, for two, agree with Clementine that you
spoke for me as well. Perhaps the message boomeranged because Clementine
doesn't know the protocal of deleting the message you are commenting on,
just like you tend to do.

Best,

Frances

Oh, gee.  What was he thinking?  

Was his fear about physical stamina or emotional stamina?  

I still can't believe that he could think, in some fashion, that there
were NOT a large number of people who really valued him and his work and
would have supported him to the best of their ability.  In other words,
helped him through the emotional roller-coaster of treatment.  And
perhaps helped him with physical therapy as well.

Further.

I don't understand why the blood medical practioners didn't recognize
his fear and provide some kind of counseling. Both chemo and radiation
have been around for decades and thousands of people survive...in
hospices, at home, on golf courses in Florida and California.  

Naturally, the quasi-religious sanctions by the ultra-moronic FDA and
DEA against cannabis for suppression of nausea is a factor for those
living and being treated in the US. But I imagine he would have been
welcomed elsewhere, even if just temporarily, to recover.

This is so sad and, I think, so unnecessary.

Unilateral decisions, made in a state of extreme depression, can have
such horrid consequences.  This is one.

The world was a far better place with "Jaxon" in it.

	Marilyn,

	This is one email received on the ghetto2 list:

	Also Moriaty said that he took his own life at his parents'
grave in Stockdale.  We don't know much more yet.
