Dear Dorothy,

I am just writing my message to respond to you, Dorothy Denning, the
superwoman of the Information Warfare, and to you message you wrote to
me and others in May, 1997. In 1997 I did not have time to write back
to you, because I worked hard, but today I can review your messages
more and write my thoughts. Your files have traveled a long way from
Atlanta through Miami (I lived in Miami in an automobile for over two
years) and Europe to Varkaus, Finland in more than six years.

To me it would appear quite logical that a message would never leave
the sending server, if an alias is wrong and so one would never
receive any bounced messages from any other servers on the Internet,
but might receivce a notification from your own sending server. I know
that I am not in such a good position professionally as you are, dear
Dorothy, because I have been following you and your activities, but I
surely know what I am talking about. I am Mr. Nobody and nobody knows
and cares about me. I am the great nobody to all. For good or bad -
only the God knows. Cheers !

My love to all -- whatever my love ever be.

(the real name Markku J. Saarelainen unless it is also an alias as my
father used to say when I was a child "Markku Alias Saarelainen" .. or
maybe my Juhani is "JUAN" a codename of the KGB agent) .. you see I
have often these dreams of my childhood places, which I can not find
.... I have been looking for a large red house with many balconies,
where I lived as a little boy, when I was less that six years old ...
but I can not find it .... maybe I was a transplanted human from
elsewhere. Or maybe I am a real life KGB agent operating still after
the Cold War is over. They say here in Varkaus that I am one of the
only persons still alive with the KGB mind and mindset. As a child I
was not able to learn Finnish as easily as others and I had the lower
grades in the Finnish language than in other subjects when I graduated
from the high school in 1986.

In August, 1999, I received a message "you are still alive" ...
whoever may have said to me. They also said to me that I am their
angel. I believe this is related to the dual identity X. It started in
August, 1999 and in this July, 2003 it started again and has been
alive ever since. So X is coming up again. One may not undestand all
mysteries of the mind of humans and their past. Some Jews and
Christians in Miami found me and told me that my God is the Satan.

R-19.18)

When I worked for Digital's Systems Research Center, our e-mail
interface
program had a feature for resolving the aliases in a message without
sending
the message. I always used this before sending to make sure my
messages
went to the people I intended and to find out if I had the right alias
(now
I often generate bounced messages because I got the alias wrong or
thought I
had one that I didn't). It also had the advantage that I could create
hierarchical alias lists, building aliases out of aliases, which
enormously
simplified the process of updating e-mail addresses. The resolver did
not
work recursively, but it was a simple matter to click the button a few
times
to get to the leaves (usually at most 2 levels deep).
