Hey Tafkaps,

I am so sorry to hear what happened to you today. And for something so stupid and asanine as well! I thought I'd seen you mentioned something about your being under investigation again. When I saw that, I had a sinking feeling that you were going to be getting a visit from LE in the near-future. It breaks my heart to learn that that fear proved true.

While I was reading about your latest plight, something occured to me concerning the real reason that "The Man" may have came for you today (and I'm sure the others here in the community suspect the same as well). I couldn't help thinking what a coincidence it was that you were this close to being taken off of the SO registry, when the LEOs came crashing down on you like a flaming bag of shit. I find myself not surprised at all that the Antis would try to nail you on some stupid charges and ensure that you remain on their little hit list and keep you lined up right in their crosshairs. That was something I also suspected would happen when you mentioned that you were about to leave the SOR. I tell you, The Pork is pretty predictable at times.

You've got my full support, Taffy. I hope you fight these bogus charges tooth and nail, and I hope that you'll come through this all right.

Be strong, be brave, be resolute. And don't ever forget that we're here to help you in any way we can. I'll be thinking of you, Taffy.

Take care and good luck.
