humorous idea, that I suspect very much that you had to be there for. Part
of the humor is because Anthrax is a deadly disease. I would not be at all
surprised to find out that Monty Python used it for the exact same reason.
As for the government 'watch list', I see no reason why the Goverment would
feel the need to do that. These days, the governent does not seem to need a
reason for a lot of the stuff it does. Sorry, I would never have thought of
this being a justification until you brought it up.

Still, I brought this to the list because I was concerned that it might go
against the RFS in some way. It appears that it has a very good chance of
doing exactly that. As far as the submittor is concerned, obtrusive
modern-ness is not an issue here. The concern that someone else might
register it, from another kingdom, is. I will have to work on that one.

Many thanks to everyone for the information and opinions.
Luciana
