Perfect point, Ken. Psychos love flaunting their egos and the targets prove your point. And no, I'm not psyched out...I'm more fearful of my ex-wife.

Hi FaultLine; But it's so badly organized. If it were up to me to put an anthrax scare I'd have sent letters to every company on the Wilshire 5000. Every member of the house and senate would have gotten multiple letters (to fund raising, legal, etc.) and I'd have bombarded the state legislatures as well.

I'd have put out 10,000 letters and it would have effected every company in the country.

Total cost: 10,000 x $1 = $10,000.

It would only take a few weeks to prepare the letters and I'd have used at least 100 different envelope types. I wouldn't have put any special markings on the letters and I'd have mailed them from at least 50 different post offices, preferably somewhere in the Northeast US. (Then I'd have left the country.)

Do you see the difference? What they did was ineffective. All it did was give us something to talk about, it didn't do anything as far as hurting this country (as compared to the WTC).
