Careful, Jim, you are coming _very_ close to crossing the line. You appear to be volunteering to have Mr. Wallace (and perhaps his family?) killed.
Arguing theoretical implications of what you call "AP" is substantially different from saying "You rang?" when your frequent posts about AP being the solution make it clear you are referring to AP here.
I'm not a lawyer, but this is getting real close to the line. I doubt many DAs would take it seriously, but I rather expect Mr. Wallace of savetrees.com might discover this message and draw the reasonable inference that his life is being threatened.
God I hope so..
