Why were you playing stupid games before?  How is anyone supposed to
tell?

I never accused that idiot of stealing anything, I merely opined that 
the laptop was probably stolen.  By whom, and why nobody will return 
it, are questions I still have.  You seem to be extremely worried that I
might eventually find out.  Why is that?  Why are you obstructing this
investigation?

I don't make assumptions about whatever passes for a legal system in
foreign countries.  The Canadian government spent generations stealing
children.  The English have a centuries-long track record of stealing
entire nations.  How am I to guess what is or is not permissible to
steal in these places?

Mostly the output of their filmmaking industries.  Totally
reprehensible.  Don't get me started on the music.

One may continue to wonder.  Fortunately for me, one is not in a position to
do anything about either situation.  Do let me know if there's anything
I can do to assist in one's wonderment.  I have held several government
jobs; you may wonder at them sequentially or all at once. I can take it.

You have no evidence that this mailing list is any kind of theater, nor
that I know anything at all, nor any reliable insight into the nature of
the people here, or whether there ARE people here.

until the flaws become part of the work."

Good luck, and lock up your computer.
