What I've done in a couple of these "Send me bombz info" trolls is to use a remailer chain to send the AOL cop trollers some truly interesting stuff about Astrolite and how to make it. All available from online places (well, CNN yanked the Astrolite material after explosives experts whined that CNN had detailed info on ANFO).
Anhydrous hydrazine is toxic (and carcinogenic), and difficult to get. If you want to assist evolution, point people towards something which can be easily bought, made, and something so sensitive no sensible person would use.
But you don't believe these Bombz d00dz are actually seeking to make bombs, do you? It seems clear from the consistent language and the attempts to look like gangsta niggaz that these are _cops_ attempting to entice people into sending them bomb-making instructions. Sending them the usual stuff jokesters here send them, about eating beans and whatever, will be recognized even by THEM as jokes. Sending them actual documents on Astrolite, with more details than "mix fuel oil and fertilizer," may actually send them into a feeding frenzy. This is the idea, right? And if they are real gangsta niggaz, or real Neo-Nazis, maybe they'll blow something up. --Tim May

No idea. It could be cops, it could be real 24ct genuine teenage idiots posing as such, it's hard to tell the difference.

Well, even if I sent them instructions, I would be outside their jurisdiction. If our esteemed Otto Schily (a former Green turned socialist red, blackening visibly as we speak) can't get at Murrkan white supremacists (Zundel et al.), how difficult is the inverse?

IANAL, can this be used as a pretense to shut the list down?

I've noticed even smart novices can't follow a recipe. It's hard to imagine they'd manage to blow up themselves or somebody else without a lot of handholding.
