[ExI] compatriot down...

[spike]

Turing gets his pardon, and we have a story in the mainstream press to
remind us of what a great man he was:

Thanks to all who wrote a card or a note for Dr. Lajeunesse, and thanks to
all who are going to.  I don't know if it helps to get a pile of cards and
notes from strangers, but Gina Nanogirl Miller and Keith Henson got a bunch
of them from us during their time of trouble, and they liked them.  I can
imagine they couldn't hoit.  I would classify it as a low-cost good deed.

If you didn't hear about Christine Lajeunesse, the short version of the
story is some yahoo came into the office with a twelve gage, shot and killed
her partner, shot a patient, shot Dr. Lajeunesse at point blank, then slew
himself.  We didn't know for several days if she would live.  We heard today
she probably will survive.  Future uncertain past that.

If you didn't write a note and later change your mind, the address is below.

Pardon the dull repetition, but I really sincerely do want this done.  I
will issue Get Out of Moderation Free cards, or look the other way if you
post over five times in the same day.  Win one for the Gipper my friends, do
this for your old moderator buddy, do it for the late Robert Bradbury who
would have done it had he been still with us, do it for Dr. Lajeunesse, just
do it.
