Dear sir:

I do not know where you live (nor do I want to know). I do not know anyone who might read and forward this message to you. But here’s a shot in the dark.

Two things are not in my nature – hatred and vengeance. Of course, in the years since 1987, such thoughts have occurred to me, but you should take great comfort in that those who were harmed that night in March of 1987 merely wanted their lives back.

That is scientific trash.
