I normally don't read this group, so excuse me if this has been brought
up before.

I just found out that a friend of mine committed suicide last July.  I
suspect taht I should have kept better contact with him, but
occasionally I get caught up in big hacking projects or whatever, so
it's sometimes several months before I try to re-establish contact.

Losing a friend like this is like losing a big bundle in investments.
You invest your quality time and build better friendships out of them.
I'd like to not lose an investment like that again, so I'm asking:

Are there any signs that I should watch out for?  How can I tell if
someone I know is having suicidal tendencies?  Suppose s/he does have
these signs, how do I help stabilize them?
