there are all kinds of stories like that. There's one that I read years ago about someone letting his newborn son, or young infant son, die because he was too wrapped up in EQ to watch his son. The kid was choking or something like that and he didn't bother with him... It's very sad, but it's not due to the game. That poor kid that shot himself that you linked to, he had a list of problems a mile long, and the mother insists that it's the game's fault.... Not likely. Perhaps the catalyst, but not directly. That kid was so messed up he needed serious medical attention, anything could have sent him over the edge. It's always sad to hear of something like this, and I can't really blame the parents who want to blame something for their loss, human nature... Mike B Michael P.
