    I'm not talking about Infowarrior, nor am I discussing one copy. Hint: I
    didn't get my copy from Infowarrior. Nor have I seen any "order".

    Not at all, I'm stating the obvious: this is plain public view because
    it's "controlled distribution" failed on a massive scale which is
    irretrieveable on it's face. There are too many copies for even an
    attempt to fake it.

I like the idea of belief in drug-prohibition as a religion in that it is
a strongly held belief based on grossly insufficient evidence and
bolstered by faith born of intuitions flowing from the very beliefs they
are intended to support.
