>We've responded to two DMCA notices from Verio, this is the second (see

>for the controversial info-protection racket. If the plan works, the removed
>doc will get even more attention now. I suspect the Mormons want more
>attention for their homosexual therapy, it could have been one of them who
>sent it to us. The document is widely available, and it was not just on
>Cryptome. Its withdrawal will likely promote it.

>Want to help? Go see Google's cache of the doc before the Mormons get to it,
>or if it is not there, post a request for a copy on the Net, or raise cain
>some other way. Send us information on what happens. If you find the doc
>hosted somewhere send us the URL.

>Verio has been very good about docs that govs want removed, and have refused
>to shut us down on two previous occasions with that type. Those are the ones
>our nosethumb statement is intended to attract.

>If we get a Verio notice about a gov doc, threatening to shut us down if it
