Seeking advice?

I was just checking some other blogs to see what is out there. I came across “ask pud”? Pud is supposedly an expert on many things but in one particular instance, I found Pud wasn’t all that he is cracked up to be. Some one ask Pud about depression, and what to do about it. Pud’s suggestion, and I quote, “to drink heavily, and consider suicide”.
Anyone that knows anything about depression knows that someone with depression has already considered those options, and possibly looking for an excuse or suggestion to act on them. Even in some of the comments to Pud’s response, others agreed that this was a proper approach. For Pud’s sake, I hope it wasn’t someone close to him. However, given his insensitivity to the subject he might not even care.
From what I know about depression, it is when someone starts talking about it is when they really need help. My suggestion to anyone seeking advice about anything other than incidental information like picking up chicks, (which from what I read Pud has had his share of put downs) don’t even bother to “ask Pud”!
