Re: Thanks to all--medical emergency under control

I'd like to point out that such things can be an invasion of privacy.
While person A might claim that person B threatened to commit suicide,
it is possible that person A wants to locate person B for other,
not so good reasons.
This will happen if all one has to say is "suicide" and everyone will
ignore their normal privacy policies.
