Why did you decide to write it on the secrets of the Intenet then?

I think you mean "perspective"

How can "our" efforts give "you" a grade "well-deserved"?

Okay, here is a secret.
Secret to surviving in usenet:  Do not cross-post "off-the-topic" articles.

Peter,

The CIA, widely known for their BIG SECRETS, is an excellent place to
start your research for your college paper.
Here is their home page:   http://www.odci.gov/cia
Good luck.

I was about to ask that...

Simple!  We can explain to him that there is a secret!! page under
www.whitehouse.gov which explains about the CIA's involvement with
cattle mutilations.  We can tell him all *sorts* of things, so *amazingly*
secret that no one knows them yet, even the people involved!

With any luck, he would get the grade he deserves.

It occurred to me that his working was amazingly similar to a comedy
routine done by the character Professor Irwin Cory. It went something
like this...

	"Ladies and Gentlemen! I com before you to stand behind you
	in order to tell you everything about something I know
	nothing about."

Now see... you've gone and done it. He's wise to the fact that
we're playing with him. If we had been able to keep a straight face,
we could have taken him into the inner circle and let him know
that cold fusion really works. There are physicists who keep in
touch on the internet with pseudonyms who are trying to recreate
the Utah experiments. The oil companies bought up all the lab
notebooks and burned them. These physicists have to keep their
identities secret because the oil companies will make them
disappear. The net allows to collaborate anonymously. However,
I think their ranks have been infiltrated by an oil company mole.

Then again, if he has to read this in front of the class, the cattle
mutilations would probably be of broader interest...
