  We propose an alternative way of looking at data on anomalous J/psi
suppression. The proposed method is in principle equivalent to the one used by
the NA50 Collaboration, but it permits to visualize separate contributions of
individual processes responsible for the disintegration of J/psi's produced by
a hard process in nuclear collisions. The method can be used provided that the
time sequence of contributing mechanisms is known or assumed. It offers an
alternative graphical presentation of the onset of anomalous J/psi suppression
in Pb-Pb interactions observed by the NA50 Collaboration at the CERN SPS and
might contribute to explain why different mechanisms, such as J/psi suppression
by the Quark-Gluon Plasma and by co-movers in the Dual Parton Model or in Monte
Carlo microscopic approaches, all lead to an approximate description of
anomalous J/psi suppression.
