The law states clearly that all citizens have the obligation to uphold the
law and to cooperate with all legal authorities. This is common law dating
back about 400 years or so. My lawyer friends tell me that you are not
just invited to assist the law, you are EXPECTED to.

Mr. Mates and Mr. Kohn have every right to help uphold the law so long as
they do so themselves lawfully -- lynching is not allowed. All they are
doing is informing the FBI of a potential crime being committed. That is
not only their right, but their obligation, as citizens.

I like IIe 3.0 as much as anyone, but to run my OWN software, program that
=I= wrote, not something I've stolen from someone else. Stealing is plain
wrong -- hasn't anyone taught you that?

By the way Nathan and Joe, I'm an old Apple II guy (mostly Mac now), but
I'm with you. Go git 'em.
