        This is unbelievable, look at this.

        It has been a terrible day, but this just makes it even more scary.

        Folks, if you want to see something completely unbelievable, follow this link. I found this link from a chat channel on IRC (Internet Relay Chat).

        I cannot believe I was reading it.

        Look at the dates closely.

        Should someone alert the FBI to this?

        http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...nset.com#link1


        If the link does not work, cut and paste it together into your browser.

        -Chris

        At any given time, any number of people are predicting that something big is going to happen "tomorrow." Still, maybe it's something to follow up on. If you know how to, I think you should forward it to the FBI, or to someone in government that knows how to do so.

        FBI supposedly has website to submit information -

        www.ifccfbi.gov

        but it doesn't work. If it did maybe we should submit the thread?

        I just did! This seemed to f'ed up to not report. It's probably nothing, but I called the Boston office of the FBI and spoke w/ an agent who provided me w/ an email. I explained to the Agent where I saw the post, etc. and that it was too wierd to say nothing. I've emailed the URL to the original posting so they can look into it.

        They WILL catch and punish the bastards responsible for this terrible tragedy

        Thank you Doug! My connection is incredibly slow, and I cannot reach the FBI's site either...let us know if you get a follow up, that message was VERY scary...

        Good job, Doug,

        We don't know where this will lead. Commendable of you to report that info. One thing we can all do to help is to give blood.
        I hope all who can will donate.

        Yeah Nils, that's true about giving blood. I may go tomorrow. My family is from upstate, and some of them were donating today.

        I'll let you all know if I hear anything as a result of the call and e-mail. Thanks to Chris for starting the thread-- it may be nothing, but one never knows. Sure there are lots of hoaxes and B.S. on the internet, but there are also lots of very real, and very scary criminals using it to promote their cause.

        This whole mess has a long way to play out. My heart goes out to all of those affected by this horrible tragedy. It's all so surreal...

        -Doug
