Let me guess, Mr. Lee, that you're the genius that spammed the list late
last month with one line "send me bomb making instructions" mails.
Ah yes, here we are:

Let me hazard another guess. Having failed there you have decided to ask us
nicely. I can see it now: "We obtained these LETHAL bomb making
instructions within mere MINUTES^H^H^H^H^H^H^H HOURS^H^H^H^H^H DAYS^H^H^H^H
WEEKS of asking on the INTERNET." Story beginning to go down the tubes?
Producer on your back?
Well, I might have just the thing.
Have you ever been to the public library. You know, the building with all
the bound papery things in them. My _god_ man, do you know they actually
store subversive bomb making instructions in there? You can build an
_atomic_ weapon based on information you find there. FOR FREE no less!
Don't you think your Louisiana viewers would be much more interested in
moonshine stil making instructions? They double as bombs when improperly
attended.
