@bombay, if someone jumps into a well, would you see it as a justification to do the same? He could take care of his issues as you have seen here. No need to come forward and take a punch for nothing
EDIT: And yes mate! When someone posts a thread, he/she is actually directly or indirectly asking for all sorts of comments but when someone comments upon anyone else's comments or responds in such a way that you did, he is asking to get into a rut.
Cheers aur vohi peace.
