At three companies, I have had the standard firstname.lastname email address. At each company, there have been 2-4 other people with the same name, so they get firstinitial.lastname etc etc and I get all the emails by default. Doesn't take a ton of time, but the time I spend tracking down which of "me" a given email belongs to and passing it along is certainly significant.
Of course, you appear to be assuming the child is innocent because he's autistic and his mom said so... not any better evidence than the tweet;) And certainly as easily manipulated...
As I see it (and as was mentioned before), the only way to confirm the assumptions is to test.
One of two things will happen:
1. The rate of decay will be faster than the rate of growth and we'll all be fine.
2. Nobody will be around to bitch.
If there's nobody to tell you I told you so, is there any reason not to test the theory?
When he realized he just actually woke up the largest war machine on earth and the friends he thought he had in the islamic community didn't rally to him, you bet your ass he would say he had nothing to do with the attacks.
It seems odd to me that you can assume that they were able to plan and execute the attacks, and yet not expect the reaction. I think they must have expected retaliation on a grand scale and planned for it (even if only to create martyrs for the cause). And even if they were expecting more from the islamic community at large, that was offset by the decision to go to Iraq and leave Bin Laden and co as a secondary/lower-priority task. Waking up the largest war machine on earth isn't a big deal if their guns aren't pointed at you.
One wonders how much longer until the moral majority decides that pay services (satellite radio for example) are too terrible for human consumption and try to apply censorship there as well.
I thought it was a decent game to spend a couple of hours with on a Sunday afternoon. After that, it became too repetitive. But then, that describes most of my gaming experiences - a couple of hours and then on to the next to see if it grabs my attention.

Your crap cave doesn't have cell service?
Skip the comma altogether and use a numbered list. Eliminates the ambiguity entirely then.
You have that freedom. And the doctor's have the freedom to not deal with you if you choose to go against their best medical judgement.
Actually, many of the tea partiers spend rather a lot of their time beating their breasts saying they will never vote for republicans.
