- Some thoughtless person deleted the "alt.folklore.urban" newsgroup
- from this thread. We wouldn't want to keep this erudition all
- to ourselves, would we?

- also claim to have suffered ritual abuse at the hands of a vast,
- underground network of Satanic cults. Does *this* seem believable to
- you as well?
