I recall the incident, and I've read a few articles on it and the posts that have appeared on this forum. And one issue keeps coming back to me. If Treadwill was such a huge supporter of Bears, it would seem to me that, for the good of the bears "reputation", for the good of his chosen field of work, for his colleagues, and for the continuation of people financially supporting his work and philosophies, then the last thing he'd want is for he or anyone else to be attacked by a bear. That attack seems to render all his work meaningless (maybe an overstatement, but you get the point). So, if he truly wanted to "check out" by bear attack, then it seems to illegitimatize his work (well, at least "his" dedication and motivation for his work), and substantiate the claims that he was off his rocker. At least, in my feeble mind it does. After all, what engineer hopes his bridge falls down, or what software developer wishes for bugs, etc? Just rambles....
