Curiously you are siding with the lawyer in the Kimberlin saga… I thought that was against the charter rules of this site!

Joking aside, thank you for the linkage. I am looking to draw as much attention to this as possible, because I have been the victim of criminal conduct and I am hoping that publicity forces them to care.

also i have created a shorter version of my monster post broken down into 8 pieces. if this works right, it will be linked to my name.

People were complaining that my post was sooooo huge that many computers were having their resources strained.
