In part, I felt my technical tips were amusing.  But in equal part, I wasok
offended by your suggestion that you had information which you were holding
back from the Net for the protection of ourselves, society at large, yourself,
or whoever.  Restriction of the free flow of information really sets me off.
You were waving a red flag in front of a bull.

I didn't reveal stuff I considered really nasty.  Like how to modify common
insecticides to increase their potency toward mammilian species.  Or how
to make efficient mechanisms for dispersing a poisonous liquid into an aerosal.
In fact, I consider the facts I disclosed to be rather obvious to the 
thinking mind.

Do the readers of this newsgroup prefer self-censorship, external
censorship, or no censorship at all?  I suspect the vast majority prefer
no censorship at all.

Am I right or am I wrong?  C'mon net.electronics, pass judgement on Larry
Lippman vs. me!  Do you want maximum facts, or just the facts you can be
trusted with?
