Re: Eugene Kashpureff's Defense Fund

Misdirected intent is no excuse to break the law, networking is A community
based on unspoken trust between various responsible entities and that trust
was violated and actions partaken in were criminal by the shown intent of
the diversion of content of information flow.

Hopefully in the future people will see their misdirected rage as more
harmful in the face of ignorant politcians and media types, and that
using the system of lawyers and regulatory bodies is more appropriate
in achieving A means to an end within the community.
