Terry,
  I had no idea you were under such pressure.
And it will be easy for me to remember not to
"cut and past" things you say at CCC or CTF.
I think I will never have a conversation
with you, or quote you again.
So certainly your request to me is likely
to be forfilled by me.

However my fear of you is validated by this
phase of yours from above:

>>If you or anyonelse does, I'll request its removal.

To an intellectual like me: destroying what I write
so no one can benefit from it, is as terrifing as
physical threats to other people.
I could possibly spend a week planning what I
post here, to make sure it is as concise and
useful as possible.
If it was then "removed" that would be a week
of my life wasted.

I am not a masochistic scientist: and I
have no intention of going the way of
Galileo, Galois, or Turring. If people threaten
to destroy what I write: I leave them, and keep it to myself.
