MANILA, Philippines - The farming village is gone, swallowed whole by
a wall of mud and boulders that swept down with terrifying speed
Friday from a mountainside in the eastern Philippines. Officials
feared the death toll could climb past 1,500. "There are no signs of
life, no rooftops, no nothing," Southern Leyte province Gov. Rosette
Lerias said. The village of Guinsaugon, once a community of 2,500
people, now looks like a 100-acre patch of newly plowed land.

I'm sure that all of us that have read this tragic story in the news
today would agree that this is catastrophic for the people involved and
they get our sympathy and good wishes whatever...

However, I feel that there are more appriate places to deal with these
feelings and help these poor people than a fish newsgroup, however
sympathetic we are...

This post did not come from our regular poster Koi-lo and I do feel that
treating this subject in this way devalues obviously truly felt
sentiments and concerns by the actual poster.
