When a single "obsessed" individual embarks on a self-serving crusade to censor
us all, which is certainly the case here, then one must do more than only *hope*
that reason will prevail.  Yes, the F.B.I will recognize this Richmond
character for the Yo-yo that he is, something that the media, forever
sensationalist, often fails to do.  We cannot wait until one day we log on to
our computers and see a series of "deleting bogus newsgroups" message.  The
time is now!  Visible support for freedom of speech, e.i. Brad Templeton,
has to be clearly and articulately expressed to those that matter, such as
the Waterloo University and the Boston Globe.
