[edit] Expand on this to make it relevant

"For what may be considered obvious reasons, fugitives generally avoid contact with individuals from their home country. However, they might spend much time on the Internet to fulfill the basic daily need for conversation, especially if they are unable to communicate well with the people in their new country."

This seems pretty random just thrown out there. Unless there is a section dedicated to life on the lam, this might want to be erased. Figureground 21:25, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Nah. I feel that the phrase "on the lam" (also known as "on the run") needs its own article. The phrase is not only used to refer to fugitives. It's also used to basically refer to someone who has taken off and is trying to avoid whoever they are trying to avoid, as the person is being sought after by the one (or ones) they'd rather not be found by.

Yep, this page is pointless. "On the Lam" is American English only, and the definition here is overwrought and looks entirely fictitious.

This article isn't pointless. I mean, of course, it needs fixing up and expansion, however. I noticed a while ago that an editor went ahead and merged this article with On the lam. I don't feel that was necessary. Even if "On the lam" is American English only, it's not like "American English only" articles are not allowed to exist on Wikipedia, or that they should not exist on Wikipedia.
