Okay. So, no postings of the Federalist Papers -- considered the third most important document in the USA, after the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Because, after all, [almost?] all of it was written by anonymous authors. And anyway, all of 'em were known criminals and terrorists, "insurgents" who had organized armed attacks against "proper authority" [the previous King George] and murdered innocent troops.
