[Noisebridge-discuss] FBI stopped by and said Hi and that there was a cyber threat from noisebridge, Feb. 21 2012 around 9pm

[Corey McGuire]

I am not suggesting this is what they are or were doing; some ruse, I am
neither paranoid nor concerned.  I am saying that, if YOU (not you, Quinn,
NB in general) are worried, YOU bite, YOUR tongue on a PUBLIC forum.
