    I have read other stuff about this and it seems he claims to have left buried treasure at the Arboretum and other stuff.

    To prepare to kill himself on his 60th birthday yesterday, the nutjob (he calls them NJs) rants...

    Blah blah, writing his long suicide rant, he calls everyone crazy except himself. Now he says the NSF doesn't spy on us.

    Pretty clever to have the National Science Foundation spy on us, too.

    Nobody expects the NSF Inquisition!

    Speaking of acronyms, I should have called them the NBA. It sure is a coincidence that Stern lets a Russian move the Nets and retires, right when this NJ guy did so yesterday.

    He is oddly coherent in his manifesto.

    That's what I found so bizarre about this, too.

    He's willing to trade in a few years of suffering on earth for eternal suffering in the after life. Something was seriously wrong with his mental state or his beliefs. Him being so methodical and coherent just adds to the creepiness of it all.

    It's not what you do in life; it's what you retract on your deathbed that counts.

    He wrote that you're a nutjob (he used that word) if you think the NSA records e-mails, texts, etc. He called everyone a nutjob in his suicide essay. Somehow that convinces me that we're not the nutjobs. Consider the source.

    "...all of them in a calm and reasoned voice that betrays the assumed nature of a man about to take his own life."

    Based on what jlprk posted I would hardly call what he wrote "calm and reasoned".

    Blue is usually right. He is the board's source for calm and reason.
