I must say that I am no stranger to bleak moods -- having gotten word 
earlier today that I'm being let go, the second time in a year.  
Nevertheless, I think I was crass in airing doubts about the note and should 
have kept my thoughts to myself.  Chances are the note is genuine, and it's 
a sad thing anyone should come to such a pass.  The man's family have 
obviously suffered terribly, both from the event itself and the public 
exposure that comes from news coverage.  They really don't need one more 
word of idle speculation like this from anyone.
