Michael thank you very much for the following
informative posting. I no longer take the matter
personally - albeit I am still concerned as it
seems that mr. bullough has a lot to learn about
the problems of living in a free society.

I can also now understand why he took offense at
my trying to email him and take this matter private,
as obviously he was not prepared to handle the fact
that I HAVE SURVIVED FASCIST POLICE STATE SWEEPS!
So I am not at all amused by mini_fascist playgames.

ciao
