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? > �- Theft was not a crime in England, or Canada where I now reside? 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? > �- France, or England, is a particularly egregious place of birth? Mostly the output of their filmmaking industries. Totally reprehensible. Don't get me started on the music. > One wonders if you're fit to be on this mailing list, or indeed to hold the > government job that you hold. 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. > This entire thread, if it is assumed that you are serious and not merely > trolling to get a rise out of the good-natured people here and scare off > Hawk who was admittedly coming off to a bad start, is a theatre of the > absurd, and I know that you know 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. > Do better.
