I quite agree that you cannot assume any suicide threat is automatically bogus. They taught us in medicl school that every successful suicide tells at least three people about their feelings. We are taught, like Ronn, that every threat is to be taken seriously. But, that said, what is the liklihood that a complete newbie would come on this forum and broadcast his/her feelings about such an important topic? I would think more seriously of a post by someone that I had at the very least seen around a bit.
