1.  I had little or no exposure to this {other than incidental reports,
 
    the only thing I noticed about it is that Decus gave him a refund
 
    while in its catalog it states clearly that refunds will not be
 
    granted under any circumstances.
 
 
 
2.  Since Mitnick apparently, based on the information that I was
 
    told, committed a criminal act against Digital, it could 
 
    impose an interdict upon him.  
 
 
 
3.  I'm not going to spend good money or waste time reading a book I
 
    have no interest in and also am informed is badly done and 
 
    weak in the subject matter.
 
 
 
4.  I am getting just a little sick and tired of people flaming
 
    someone because they ask a question or pose a comment and the
 
    person in question doesn't know the whole story.  Some of us
 
    are completely unaware of what is going on; some people are
 
    very well informed.   
 
 
 
    One time on this BBS's Firearms conference, I asked a question
 
    about the movie "Day of the Jackal" and "The Exterminator" and
 
    "Jaws" where they all created explosive bullets using mercury
 
    and in Jackal they discussed mercury vs. glycerine, and I wanted
 
    to know what the difference was.
 
 
 
    The Moderator flamed me for asking this type of question.  I
 
    am rather upset at being chewed out for not knowing every 
 
    (expletive deleted) issue in every context.
