Other then your empty threats I haven't heard or seen a thing done by
the FBI concerning asimov. Turn on the TV and watch CNN for a couple of
hours.  The FBI has better things to do beside humor you. (plane
bombings, murders, etc.)  Your wasting your time as well as the FBI's if
you think your empty threats are really going to accomplish anything,
anytime soon. If your really going to do it, then do it, otherwise just
shut-up.  You sound like a 10 year old threatening to tell his mother.

Funny, your the one who has envoked everything from the FBI to GOD in
order to try to shut asimov down.  Who's really having the fantasy?
What next, voodo curses?

  I have yet to see you try to shut down the Commodore site, or the SEGA
site, or the NINTENDO site, any of the several IBM pirate sites down.
It's obvious that you have a more personal reason for trying to shut
asimov down besides it being a "pirate site".  What could that be?
