It seems like this could possibly be distracting him from being "all he
could be" at XXX XXXXXX XXXXXX. Mr. Busy requests the others to "check
your email every few hours", and "do not leave before you talk to me".
The email recipient is a Fred XXXXXXX, who works at PEI,
"Tel: (718) nnn-nnnn, Fax: (718) nnn-nnnn".
Another referenced person, "Gary", has the skills/job for making brochures.
Gary has an email name of "xxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxx" at ISP ATT.
He receives a copy of Mr. Busy's email via Fred, might work at PEI too.
They also have a database programmer, possibly Fred.
Enclosed trailing are the actual emails.
Prepared by Guy on 10/30/96.

prudent to put someone on the individual 'watch list'.

Then there was a manager under heavy stress, who was pissed at top management,
knew his department had a good chance of getting cut in the next several
months, then the talk turned to guns...
This was a very long diatribe; only a little is shown here because I got
tired re-writing the words so it's not literally their traffic anymore.
In email he sounded like a major flake. In person he sounded normal.
***************** BEGIN OF JOBTALK EXCERPT *******************************
An oddity: a Xxxxx Yyyyyyy is getting stressed out by his area's upcoming
personnel cuts; he's made a presentation to Mr. Cheese for project ideas
that might avoid him being cut. This stress is normal, but suddenly talk
about him being a gun-nut came up. It doesn't appear to be a problem, but
I thought I'd let y'all decide for yourselves. ---guy

# One telecommunications equipment manufacturer said he was puzzled by the
# FBI proposal. "The FBI already has a lot of technology to wiretap digital
# lines," he said, on the condition of anonymity.
#
# He said four companies, including such major firms as Mitel Corporation,
# a Canadian maker of telecommunications equipment, can design digital
# decoders to convert computer code back into voice.
#
# A portable system about the size of a large briefcase could track and
# decode 36 simultaneous conversations. A larger system, the size of a
# small refrigerator, could follow up to 1,000 conversations.
#
# All could be done without the phone company.
#
# James K. Kallstrom, the FBI's chief of technology, [later made head of the
# FBI's New York office], acknowledged that the agency was one of Mitel's
# largest customers, but denied computers had that capability. [What???]

And how many conversations does the government listen to?
For when they took the time to get a court authorization:
* "Above the Law", by David Burnham, ISBN 0-684-80699-1, 1996
*
* ...in 1993, it appears in that year alone the government agents
* listened to something like 810,000 conversations.
Of course, the NSA has stated it needs no warrants and doesn't even consider
the legality of purely domestic wiretaps.

I said before the Drug War was highly politicized.
It's a matter of politics over matter when the government's Drug War elevates
marijuana above its true pharmacological controlled substances classification;
it's a matter of hysteria to escalate it to the same top category as heroin
and LSD, 'Schedule I Substances'. Even cocaine is only Schedule II.
Late 1996 / early 1997, several states, including California, passed laws
via citizen initiative ballots that legalized marijuana if a doctor prescribes
it. Usually for nausea or weight loss from chemotherapy or AIDS.
A massive Federal and State Drug War hysteria
campaign failed to stop people approving it.
