I tend to think there's not a lot of value in talking publicly about suicide due to the Werther effect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copycat_suicide), and I know that for my own part reading about suicide tends to reinvigorate some pretty unfortunate cognitive patterns.
This x 1000. Personally I would love to and end to the recent deluge of articles touching on / talking about suicide. Awareness of the issues surrounding the aaronsw case are important, yes, but too much suicide talk is not healthy, IMO.
