Justa re<<<No need for a press conference in my opinion. Just made things worse by bringing such huge attention to it. If they say there is nothing to worry about, no need to hold an hour long press conference. Now every crackpot who wants some attention will be mailing powder to someone. >>>

I think everyone has to be alert to their mail now especially in media outlets, government and business. We now have confirmed anthrax cases in Florida National tabloid office, NBC and suspicious case at NYT. While hoaxes are also running around some persons or entities seem to be sending this stuff to places where news will get out around the country and frighten and disrupt the country. Along with that are the usual bunch of copy cat mental cases and parasites looking to send talcum powder and other suspicious stuff out for some perverse feeling of importance.

This has the potential to effect every business in the country in terms of how they handle mail with no security and minimum wage people currently giving way to something a lot more expensive. Unfortunately it's a message that needs to get out at this point.

BTW for the next 3 years I will be reachable by email and message board only. I have canceled mail service and replaced my mailbox with a sign saying "no one at this address<g>
