Raven, I haven't heard anything about the second wave of death threats, but most of the actual posts from the first wave that were on SI have been poofed by SI administration. You won't find them. However, start reading this thread, from post #1 on and you'll find that some of them have been preserved, and there are some links to posts that appeared on the Yahoo boards. Most SI people who are in the know presume that a poster using the alias John Rizzo was behind some of the death threats that were associated with the MTEI threads. Whether this is truth or vivid imagination, I don't know. I wasn't involved with the thread or the threats. Rizzo no longer posts on SI, and again, posters in the know say that he was permanently banned by SI administration. Rumor has it that he may now be posting on either Raging Bull or Yahoo. I don't know if he's assumed another alias or not. Another thread that probably contains some of the threats in a copied format is Thread Morons, here on SI. You'll have to go back to the time frame of about when this thread was started to find them. Hope this gets you started. KJC

Raven, Since I posted to you earlier, someone has pointed out to me that Mr. Rizzo has been back posting on SI for quite some time now. As I had indicated in the prior post, I didn't know if those pointing the finger at him were correct or not. Since he's continued to post, I would say that certainly he was not banned by SI, but may have had a suspension of SI privileges around the time the threats were made. In any event, he's back posting now, and as far as I know, there are no current problems involving him. Whatever happened back then may have been an isolated incident, and if you need details, you'd have to ask him. Just wanted to post this correction. KJC

Raven, I've got two of them. Saved them as HTML files before SI wiped them out. I'll consider sending them to you. My question is what exactly do you plan to do with them? Not going to forward them to "Stock Justice", I hope... Regards, LE
