Walt,
I was never bothered by anything you wrote. As a matter of fact, I
usually find your posts quite entertaining or informative.
Sorry to hear that those whose lives were lost were aquaintances of
yours. I know a little of what you are going through as my wife went
through a similar situation a few years back at Simon's Rock college.
A student went on the rampage with an assault rifle and took the life
of a professor and student, both aquaintances of my wife. It affected
her greatly and is a time I'd rather forget about.
