Quick backstory: we received this email earlier today from someone who 
subscribed to the attrition mail list and then attempted to send this to 
the list.  Since the list is moderated, it sat in queue.  Below is my 
reply to the original email (top-posted for your general annoyance).

Moral of the story:  Don't be a dumbass. The End.

We received the following to the Attrition mailing list, which is a public mail 
list with a few hundred subscribers and is only able to be posted to by 
attrition.org staff members.  Since the information you sent below was only 
viewed by a couple of attrition.org staff members, we would like to quote 
President Obama when we ask:

"You think we're stupid?"

This guy has done nothing to *us*, yet you want *us* to fuck with him. Better 
yet, you seem to imply that you want us to commit a crime on your behalf by 
"acquir(ing) funds using the information below". We don't know you, we don't 
know him, and we sure as hell don't want to get to know any FBI agents any 
better than we already do, which is vaguely at best. With this said, we urge 
you to find another method of dealing with whatever issues you have with this 
particluar individual before the urge to contact law enforcement officials and 
give them your email address comes over us.

In other words, get off the goddamned internet before you get yourself in a 
fucking shitheap of trouble.

Smooches, bitch.

Lyger
