If that is the only issue that you care about, then a community
self-help site is not what you want. I was going to go through your
long mail point by point but then realized that it would be a waste
of time.

I think that it is fair that you have other goals, but perhaps you can
refrain from commenting further on this proposal so that people who
might find it useful can discuss it? Thanks.

I guess you mean the British Serious Organised Crime Agency? I have no
idea what that proposal is. Was it discussed on this list? Can you
please send a link?
