I'd been thinking of posting this after the game developer committed suicide (Jeff Freeman), so I just wanted to say if anyone here ever has issues with depression, loneliness, or just needs someone who can be there for them... I would be happy to be that person.

Feel free to pm me, and I'll give you my e-mail & phone - you can then dump anything you want on me. I will offer a good ear and an uplifting voice to help. I never want to hear of someone here harming themselves or going through that stage without understanding there are people (strangers even) who really do care about you. I know how much it helps me and my wife, and I will always reciprocate the kind of thoughtfulness we've been aparty to for the rest of my life... because it truly does make a life-changing world of difference.

Jeff, you're awesome in every way. This is the kindest offer I've seen on Qt3. You're an asset and a great friend to anyone who knows you.

On that note, I'm a good ear, too. I can be Jeff's sidekick if anyone needs someone and can't get hold of him. I've been through the ringer and come out alive (details via PM or email by request). I can relate to just about anything.

I admire your courage and open kindness. It's nice to see something on the internet other than cynicism.

Personally, I suffer from a serious case of foot-in-mouth disease and may lack the qualifications for this job. Despite this crippling handicap, I am open to all.

Here's my offer, if you are feeling suicidal in Madison, I know where to find sluts, if you strike out with the sluts, we can go to my place and play Mario Party 8, where I will let you win without it being obvious that I am throwing the game.*


*A skill I developed after decades of playing games against my wife and brother, who are are veritable tornadoes of controller cords and profanity whenever they lose at anything. I swear, the two of them are pretty much indistinguishable from Tourette's Guy when they play Monopoly.

I thought losing Mario Party on purpose was about as impossible as winning it on purpose.

So, where are the sluts?

Besides well... everywhere downtown? (I will take three for the weekend, I need to do some yard work)

Dundee is dead? Dammit. Dammit.

From things he had posted in the past, he had a kind of rough time of it. But ouch ouch ouch. I hate suicides; too many struggles with depression myself.

Are these the same sluts that leave offers of free services in the mensroom?

Also, I'd make a similar offer to be a shoulder to cry on but I'd probably just depress you even more.
