They see no need, Tommy, you're a Usenet twerp and of no real
software/commerce consequence. Your idea of a big day is to come here and
show your ass, the USG knows where you are and how oh so (non) influential
you are.

But I tell you what, you keep pushing their buttons, Bad Boy, and if you
ever get their attention, you'll feel the weight of the FedGov on your back
like a crushing elephant.

So as I said, go right ahead, talk the bad talk, walk the bad walk, be my
guest.

In the meantime, I have this tough decision to make. Do I believe a
pseudo-Usenet Troll or a 25 year expert in import/export legal field?

Let's see Twerp-Expert, Expert-Twerp, a tough one.
