I think those who haven't been following the anthrax threads didn't have the context.

Even some of us who have been following the anthrax threads don't have the context.

There have been discussions about the supposed e-mail between Hatfill's thesis advisors and the forged Ph.D diploma, both of which have been on the news.

And those following the anthrax threads know of The Great Satan's theory, part of which is shared by others, the other part is shared by very few.

His opinion is that that Al Qaeda and Iraq are behind the attack, and most definitely not Hatfill. This is the part some of us, myself included agree with.

But then he takes it one step further, which I consider a real stretch, that Hatfill is not a victim of either being set up by the FBI deliberately, or a victim of their bungling of the investigation, but a willing participant, even active orchestrator in the charade of "blame Hatfill".

Once you take that into consideration the thread makes more sense, although I can't imagine why he decided to do it under another SN, when anyone following the anthrax discussions will know instantly that Milkbar and Satan are one and the same.

LOL! So true. But as much I found The Great Satan fun to read, I did come to view him as a sort of nutball. I'll miss him, especially winning bets with him.

He'd have loved the monkeypox in Milwaukee news stories.

I'll think of him every time we have a CDC alert.
