Bob's post is very interesting in that it is one of the first (if not the
first) documented instances of a pro-Scientology poster (at least I believe
he is) using the phrase "Fair Use". Up to now, nobody on that side of the
fence, particularly Ms. Kobrin, even acknowledges the existence of Fair Use
of their "sacred scriptures".

I also am happy that Bob used the word "alleged". He sounds like a very
reasonable person.
