EXACTLY.

Go discuss your personal problems elsewhere.  Sumo wrestler killed in
terrorist attack is news for this list.  3000 people killed in Iraq,
in NY, by car bombs, bullets, or an overdose of Nyquil is NOT news for
this list, NOT EVEN IF YOU'RE INVOLVED.

Full moderation, merciless member removal.
