I have commented (not here) that the people who go crazy at jobs (and often
postal) were not crazy when they were hired, only after the situation
changed or changed them.
So screening for crazy people before hiring really don't do anything, except
get you a lawsuit for violating their civil rights as they have the right of
their craziness protected by law.
BTW, Keith, they can't flee to the hills in California. That's where the
real nuts are and were, like Charlie Manson.

Yes, people who boil over can be dangerous to be around. But history has
proven it's the people who live like monks who almost invariably cause the
ugliest surprises for other people, who are always left to say things like
"He was such a quiet, polite young man."
As a half-humorous footnote...So, it's normal for people in California to
feel so pressured by economic necessity that they are scared into censoring
themselves when they converse with colleagues on email lists? Mental
health-wise, it would make more sense to flee for the hills. Good luck out
there. :-)
