Having just received my second installment from "Jeff" the A-bomb blueprint vendor, I feel a call to action may be warranted. I can think of several good reasons why Jeff should be encouraged to leave us alone. 1. This is crass commercialism of the net. (But, while I'm on the subject, would anyone like to buy a used crib?) 2. His market research is poor. (While Inkshedders may share an interest in science, history and technology, composition and rhetoric are the primary bills of fare on this list. Now, if he were hawking Peter Elbow's college notes and in-class doodlings, he might have found his niche). 3. Are there any "anti nuke radical elements" in the house? And, if there are, would you really work yourselves into a lather over the authenticity of his documents? (Pleeaase, give me strength!) 4. Just as sheer speculation, what would one do with one of these blueprints? Hang it in the office to intimidate students? Take the moosehead down from the living room wall and put this up in its place? (I mean, holy dust-collecting piece of trash, Batman! You paid twenty bucks for that?) Is there any way we can monitor/control content on our list? Or should we investigate the fine art of "flaming" as a means to pull ranks when unwanted flotsam and jetsam washes up on our shores? (I presume that we're probably too polite a bunch for that, but I understand it involves everyone sending the perpetrator a number of messages all at once to flood their mailbox). Encoding: 4 TEXT
