Because Amerithrax is the most complex investigation in law enforcement history and the casual webposter is not in a position to intelligently respond or contribute (because they are not familiar with the details or even the thread). Admin is always free to delete all of ZacandPook posts if he tires of exploring an Al Qaeda theory relating to Amerithrax, particularly in the context of the developments in the day’s headlines.
For example, the newest fascinating twist in the Goldman Sachs threat letter case (which purported to be from AQ USA) is that the writer says that 6 parents and 3 teens are now all horrified that a childish prank has gone awry.
(Mention of furniture polish to remove fingerprints apparently squares with forensic tests and so it appears to have been written by the original sender of the 70 threat letters).

See also Al Qaeda manual specifically instructed to wipe the envelope with a silicone sealant — containing up to one-third treated fumed silica — so as to not kill the mailman.
But I’m not buying it — 3 teenagers sending out 70 letters because some boss treated one of their parents badly? Maybe on Law and Order episode but not in the real world.
It’s hard enough to get a teenager to make up their bed. And we know from any Law and Order episode involving 6 parents and 3 teenagers that someone always talks.
Ed now will rush off (as he should) to find out whether furniture polishes have silicone in them (such as silicone sealants do). (And they most certainly do).

That would explain (in my mind) the detection of silicone in the EDX. I have previously suggested silicone sealant as a possible explanation based on the Al Qaeda manual, I had also imagined it as avoiding the particles stick — ensuring they would just slide right off the letter.
But perhaps that is exactly what those fiendishly clever Al Qaeda operatives want us to think — thus throwing us of the key importance of the patents using hydrophobic nanosilica particles from GMU.
Clearly, this may all just a cruel prank by the Al Qaeda operatives to give credence to Ed Lake’s view that a 1st grader wrote the letter (dictated by his or her parent). :0)
The letter specifically says that the parent is dictating the Goldman Sachs letter to the girl. Ed, you should transmit your record of IP addresses to the FBI and let them put an NSA computer on cross-referencing the IP addresses.
Ha ha, you diabolical Salafist geniuses. He who laughs last laughs best. Let’s hope you knuckleheads didn’t use the expensive (not in libraries) last volume of Gale Directory of Publications I suggested Holy Land buy for you. ;0) (It has the emails of beat reporters and even excellent university libraries don’t have it).
