clue=Dear Mr. Hance:
   You will have to forgive my clumsiness with this type of technology.  I have been "called in" as your people 
say, because you are believed to be missing mail.  IF YOU HAVE STILL RECEIVED NOTHING BY THIS TIME TOMORROW, POST 
IT IMMEDIATELY ON THE OPENING PAGE, OR WHATEVER YOU CALL THE "UPDATE" PAGE.  THIS IS A MATTER OF MATERIAL 
CONSEQUENCE TO BRYAN D. HANCE.
   It means, among other things, that our correspondence with you is being intercepted.  If so, an alternative 
route will be chosen, albeit one that passes through Tucson.  We may simply hire or perhaps the word is "retain" 
someone to dispatch the materials to you.  In any event, we shall overcome our opponents and have it placed in your 
hands.  What you do with the Material Encouragement, is then your decision.

Farewell.

I guess this is the "now is your last chance to figure out our goddamn puzzle" email. They sent this from on campus library IP, as usual.

At the same time, I don't but this 'intercepted' line one bit. I think they're playing it up, just baiting interest.

1.2672063606 is from this page, an extreme value constant. Who this signifies, I have no idea.

They make it sound like they are on their way HERE....'If so, an alternative route will be chosen'. I believe this as much as I believe the rest...

Perhaps I'll pack heat on the 25th this year...Falls on a Friday. I leave for Mexico on the 26th. Fuck 'em.
