I think the reason they were actually raided was that an EMPLOYEE ran
a BBS that was suspected of having pirate stuff; that employee happened
to use WWIV.  SJG also happened to use WWIV.  The government, known for
it's intelligence, decided SJG's BBS must be the one with the illegal
stuff on it, and raided the place - taking everything from the furniture
to work in progress - totally screwing SJG.  SJG had to sue and wait YEARS
to get SOME of the stuff back. 

And that, folks, is what you get when you vote for Demopublicans and 
Republicrats.
