True, TJ - I'd see that as coming under the heading of Tank's depressed-Clark courting suicide without actually
deliberately trying to end his life. I could find the kind of scenario Tank posits credible, if Alt-Clark had sufficient motivation for it.
But actual deliberate intent? I've thought about this a lot since last night and, while I originally said that I'd keep an open mind and let an author try to convince me, I don't think it would work for me. As Ursie said, Clarks of any universe have far too much respect for life to commit suicide intentionally.
