-Caveat Lector- Greetings All: I want to start this e-mail by personally taking this opportunity to offer my condolences to the friends and family of those that were lost this week. I will never forget those that were taken from us, and I'm sure no one else in this country now, or that may be born into this country in the future, will either. I am sending this letter out to some 62,000 people that are on our mail lists, as well as posting it on our website, in hopes of preventing some problems that I see arising out of this tragedy. While these issues are minor compared to others that our country are facing now, I still think it's important that they be addressed. 1. Americans are giving people, especially in times of crises. Sadly, there are those that seek to prey on this. I want to urge each of you NOT to donate to relief funds via links that you receive from e-mails. We have gotten and confirmed several reports of people sending out spam with links to paypal and other such services, that are not in any way affiliated with a disaster relief organization. AntiOnline is working on tracking down the identity of many of these individuals, and will turn them over to the appropriate agencies once we have completed our work. So please, if you wish to donate to the relief fund online, I suggest visiting Amazon's Official Online Disaster Relief Fund Site at http://www.amazon.com/ 2. In times like this, teenagers and others often are left feeling helpless. They want, like the rest of us, to strike out at those that have attacked our nation. We have gotten dozens of e-mails from people that are trying to start "hack Afghanistan, Iraq, etc." movements. I have been asked by the authorities to urge each of you NOT to partake in such actions. This will do nothing to help those that have been lost, or to punish those that are responsible. Your duty as a citizen of this country is to let the proper authorities handle this matter. The US Department of Defense and Federal Bureau of Investigation are acting under the direction of the President, and are the ones best trained and equipped to deal with this situation. Any actions that you take on your own, may simply hinder their ability to do the jobs that they need to be doing now. If you want to show your support, donate blood, make a financial donation to the red cross, hang a flag, or spend some time to comfort those in your community that may have suffered a loss. 3. I am aware that there is a "Jam Echelon" day scheduled for next month. I would like to urge the organizers of that event to cancel it. While I am confident that such events have no effect over our nation's intelligence gathering ability, I feel that at times like this we should be united in support for our country. "Jam Echelon Day" would send a wrong message to the international community about how the citizens of this country view their government. Once again, my deepest sympathy to those who have personally lost someone in this incident, and to each one of us, who are all feeling your pain.
