@perennialloner,
I'd say both. I'm not an english teacher much less a book editor, but I qualify as opinionated, thus I say the first example strikes me as an unfinished sentence, such as "there's no point in living with roommates I can't stand". The second example strikes me as more serious, as in the person may be looking into local bridges to jump from into peril.
This is my personal take and likely not corroborated anywhere in print.
And, by the way, I don't think I welcomed you to a2k yet. I read your posts with interest.
