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

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.
