I don't dispute that a great many people in the lumber industry would
be very happy to see the last of EF--dead or alive.  My disagreement
is over *how* that is likely to be done.  I haven't seen anything done
that makes a bombing a particularly likely method for them to use.  If
your *real* fond of conspiracy theories, that makes a bomb a good
choice, but that isn't the way I see it.
