Hi Leigh:

I've read many of your Posts over the years and I know you helped 
thousands of people. It's not a Dead Threat, but more of a warning!

As an Example: On a Summer Job I worked on an Airport, with the DOT. 
They had me testing Equipment, that had been shipped. Wires get loose 
inside this stuff. No one said how many I was supposed to test in a day. 
So after a few weeks I was doing some 60 things a day, No Sweat! Then 
these three Wise Guys appeared, told me they did three a day. I didn't 
get the hint. Had no idea what they were going on about. When I finished 
all that testing they put me on Cataloging a Transmitter. I pulled it 
apart piece by piece, until I got to the 1 1/2 inch Diameter Wires that 
needed to be unattached. I brought a Combination Lock from home and put 
it on the breaker that supplied the power. One of the Three Wise Guys 
sawed the lock off during Lunch, and turned the power on while I was 
undoing the First Wire. Some Tension on it made it hit the side panel, 
and that put a three foot hole in it. I woke up on the floor 60 feet 
away! The police came, and tried to find out whom sawed the lock. They 
never did! I left and went back to school.

A year or two later I was in Montreal visiting someone, and saw two of 
the Three Wise Guys on the sidewalk. So I asked them about that police 
investigation, then asked them about where was Wise Guy Number 3. They 
told me that 6 weeks after I left there, Wise Guy Number Three, had an 
Electrical Accident, he Burst into Flames. So I said "guess we know now 
whom sawed the lock!"

This seems to be sort of a theme in my life, all kinds of people that 
tried to kill me, or mess with me. I usually do nothing, don't even 
think about getting even, and then hear much later, on that they Died, 
or got some disease, or died in the same way, that they tried to kill 
me. Sort of comes with the territory of being a Nerd. So it's not a 
Threat, but a warning. I don't know how it works Leigh, I just hear 
about the results, and they are not pretty!

Well you got some activity there now! I was just getting real fed up, 
Hackers don't leave tracks. John Gill I know now was not doing the Bad 
stuff. He was from this list. That's was whom the Torpedo Post was meant 
for. James got on my Nerves with Nerd Bashing, so that tl;dr post was 
about defending myself against what he had to offer me. Guess I'll never 
know whom the hacker was. If things go they way they do, in a sort time, 
that person will no longer be bothering anyone. The theme is still going 
on, and I have no way of knowing how to stop it, so I have to tell 
people sometimes, that it can be a bit dangerous, better to find someone 
Else's Computer to mess with. I'd much rather have it so that, they at 
least get a second chance, so that they have some time to correct what 
they did, to me and become a somewhat better person.

In that light perhaps you can give me that chance! You seem to be either 
officially or unofficially some sort of Authoritarian type of person, 
and I wrote this post so that you might understand my take on things.

Alfred!

I'll try to keep it to Ubuntu
