oh. that's no kind of good. Might it be a diabolically stupid Department of Homeland Security sting? The one where you respond and get a flock of black helicopters following you around auditing your tax?
Actually, the spam claims that in 1974 a nuclear physicist defected and brought all kinds of secrets with him; on closer examination of their text, there didn't seem to be any actual nuclear secrets involved. I guess they were nuclear 'cos they came from a nuclear physicist.
Well, yes. But I shouldn't worry too much if it's a '74 defector we're talking about. Anything he's gonna say is probably already on the Whirled Innerweb.
Besides, just think how useful most 1974 technical secrets would be to anyone. "Gosh, Vladi, this would be really useful If I were still running a basement mainframe with a wall full of tape drives. What are you going to show me next, an exploding suitcase full of secret punchcards? Or the secret key to the Rosetta bloody secret stone?"
