The reason for that, insofar as it is done, is the Advanced Courses
materials. Their secrecy is taken utterly seriously, whether or not you
believe that or approve of it.

I was asked not to post. Gently, twice, over the course of several
conversations with an OSA director I know personally. I was never "told"
to do or not do anything, FWIW, nor was a.r.s necessarily the subject of
interest.

You might find it remarkable, and given your paranoia, unbelievable, but I
have also never at any time discussed with anyone any form of strategy or
tactic WRT a.r.s. Even despite the fact I have also corresponded
occasionally with OSA persons who have posted to this group.

Given who and what I know and what I have seen, and regardless of some
enormous egos hereabouts, it appears to me that a.r.s is regarded with a
shrug for the most part by the Church; with the important exception of the
abuse of the Advanced Courses materials.

I probably cement your fears with a denial, so I'll issue it for my own
amusement and in hopes you sleep fitfully: I am no part of any "campaign"
or organized effort of any kind to deal with this newsgroup or its motley
denizens. Nor does one exist to my knowledge, outside the known persons
and issues surrounding the well-known lawsuits.
