I only wish you had got the story straight before you started down the
"reconstructed CD" road provoking much nastiness.

The program simply said, "CD". This means, (to me) "Computer Disk".
AFAIK, I did "get the story straight". But, it would be difficult to cut
up a modern CD with pinking shears, so there was a hint that such a
thing might not be possible. The program, certainly, did not make this
very clear. I thought the discussion was very interesting, myself, but
if you didn't think so, then you were free to not read it.......No one
twisted your arm........

Which is a great pity... It might have added some sense to his twisted
outlook.

In these groups I have to use a twisted outlook in order to view beyond
your mental road block.

A miracle has occurred...... They ran this episode on Friday night......This
time I watched it more carefully......They did specify that it was the old
style 5-1/4 inch floppy disks that Joseph Snodgrass cut up with his pinking
shears. It took place in the Philippians, and had letters to his housekeeper
on it, where he asked her to hire someone to kill his wife, Julie.....She
hired her two uncles. Why he kept a disk with the letters on it is beyond
me, but it was his undoing. They were able to piece it back together well
enough to recover about 85% of the information from it.....The FBI had told
them that it would cost over a million dollars to recover the data from it,
but they were able to do it for $131, and that included the cost of the
first drive which he wrecked. It was the first time such a thing had been
done. He got a life sentence, and his housekeeper and two uncles only got
one year.......
