Subject: Re: Hogan, our favorite clam lawyer, again
From: hkhenson@netcom.com (Keith Henson)
Date: Tue, 4 Feb 1997 05:47:44 GMT
I got another mess of stuff from our favorate clam lawyer. Ah, how they
must be spending money! They could simply drop the case at this point
(like, how many more NOTs *could* I expose) but this is not the way of
Hubbard's lawsuit instructions. Hubbard never in his life imagined that
someone would be grandstanding before tens of thousands of people while
his cult threw money to lawyers by the bushel. If Hubbard's thetan were
to come back, it would abuse DM even more than the net has for such a
waste of money.
This stuff was reformated, but not corrected much. Keith Henson
