Folks, I was looking forward to meeting Bob Steele in person, but it's
obvious that *this* spook ain't no gentleman. See below for his entire
message to me, color and all. Oh, well. It's wonderful to know that a
spook-style NII wouldn't censor healthy Anglo-Saxonisms.
Needless to say, if a real threat is made, I'll report Bob to the proper
local authorities and to the Marine Corps Command & Staff College
(where, according to a 1993 item in the American Intelligence Journal,
he's a Reserve officer-instructor).
Note to Well folks: I hope you'll keep track of Bob's Message-Id below
for authentication purposes.
I encourage members of the net to repost my present message far and wide.
Needless to say, I urge librarians, educators, media people, EFF types
and others to keep the NII free of spies (except for routine net use by
members of the intelligence community if they are acting within federal
law).
Bob's three-liner below should tell all.

Fuck you, you silly little shit. When you get your head out of
your ass, and have time to read the substantive material I sent
you in the mail, by all means do get in touch, we can start over.
