Thanks. I am not going to make a Federal case out of it. It has happened before at Lynnhaven and they left a note on it but that was about 4 years ago and that was a different group of contractors. The mail contractors seem to change every few years.

I do have to watch out for being a little too paranoid about stuff. You should have heard the comments I was getting in 1991 around the University of Minnesota when I was writing all the US Senators and half the US Representatives and all the State Governors as well as all the US Supreme Court members where I was basically told my law librarianship career was over because I did not like how some staff and professors at the University of Minnesota Law School treated me when I tried to be honest about the genesis of my interest in victims access to practical information based on the 2-24-1976 murder of my then remedial English teacher's daughter Michelle Mitchell in Reno, Nevada. They insisted this was my personal problem and not the professional concerns of law librarians/law professors. etc. This was about what was at the University of Minnesota Law Library and School for victims/survivors and their activists/advocates. I was trying to make a Federal Case of that. I guess I did make my former employers look pretty bad in the eyes of some and was punished accordingly with a blacklist from employment in a law library.
