======== Newsgroups: alt.religion.scientology,misc.legal,comp.org.eff.talk 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.
