[texhax] stupid enumerate question

[SteveC]

how can I make 'hello' come out all the way to the left? It doesn't seem
to like nesting suspends...

\usepackage{enumerate}
\usepackage{mdwlist}

\begin{document}

\begin{enumerate}
\item blah 1
\item blah 2
\begin{enumerate}
\item nest 1
\item nest 2
\begin{enumerate}
\item double nest 1
\item double nest 2
\end{enumerate}
\suspend[blah]{enumerate}
hello
\resume[blah]{enumerate}
\item nest 3
\end{enumerate}
\item blah 3
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}
