On 5/31/96, Vern Humphrey said to Mitch Marmel concerning threat on Leslie:
VH> A threat cannot be credible if the person uttering it can't carry it
VH> out.
MM> Last time I checked, the Unabomber allegedly used Greyhound and the US
MM> Mail.
MM>
VH> Yeah -- but does everyone who utters an intemperate word rush out and
VH> make a bomb?
If they did, the world would be considerably more interesting. ;)
VH> Particularly since this individual did not mention bombs
VH> -- he talked about "hunting" the person he was POed at.
(shrug) If I could accurately predict every move that every person was going
to make, I'd rule the world. :)
For all I know, somebody might consider the act of sending the subject of his
wrath a package that goes to BE hunting...
-MMM-
