Subject: Re: Multiple-Choice Quiz for Bill Mee
Richie, who cares - the party is over. Now get that asshole Stone to
quit claiming our results or I will get those questions answered by the
State's Attorney - over a nice sushi dinner. We went by your report, and
the coroner was not privy to that information or the download from the
Cis - whatever model it is. I will press this issue with somebody who
can make it happen if you think that will help. Obviously there is
nothing to gain by that or by your being a pussy with a stick up his ass
about it.

The fact is that there have been two deaths on this cs's projects ( both
while wearing Cis Lunars as disguises ), and the fact is that neither
victim had a buddy, and the fact is that this is the kind of thing that
we disagreee violently with Stone about - diabetics, sick people , old
men, personal preference, fat slobs, and strokes all doing whatever the
hell they want. 

We do not care about Richard Nordstrom's defininition of death, sex,
rebreather , "Cis Lunar" anything else - he has made his own bed now and
in the past, so let him sleep in it. I don't deal with people like that.

We don't care about any of this rebreather bullshit anymore: our permit
got renewed, and this guy is done for good. If he starts the lying about
results, we will correct them, and throw in the rest of the story to
keep it green, if that will act as a detererrent, or you can advise them
to pack up and shut up.

Our show goes on. I can tell you this , Mr. Pyle, my "Little Piker
Weekends" are looking pretty stout about now, and I have a few more to
come, and in a lot of places. My "technology" works. It is simple, it is
good, it gets the job done, and your boy just proved it.
