"Typically capitalist response. As if threads were property." Semul the Barbarian Semul, Laknar, and Frisch 14 Rubber Beltway Saginaw, MI Phil Enns Metaphysics Dept. Blavatsky Center Universal University Toronto, ON Dear Mr. Enns: It has come to our attention that you are repeatedly trying to hijack threads from our client, Mr. Paul Stone of Kingsville, Ontario. Please be advised that we have been retained by Mr. Stone to enforce his interests in these matters, and will be maintaining an extensive dossier of your hijacking attempts, pursuant to legal action by this firm. Rather than instigate immediate legal proceedings against you, we are offering this cease and desist notice, in hopes that all parties may reach an amicable agreement of nolo scribendi and thus save valuable court time. As is well known (cf. DG Myers versus Fluffy the Clown, UT, 1989) threads do indeed constitute property, and attempts to hijack them fall within the purview of the Interstate Commerce Act as applied to free mailing lists. Keep it up, buddy, and we shall literally clobber you. First with our mighty war maces, and later with endless streams of punitive law suits. Thank you for your time and attention. We hope that no further communications are necessary on this subject. Sincerely, Semul the Barbarian Semul, Laknar, and Frisch cc: ps, stb, dgm ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
