Yes, you are missing a lot.  The bit about foreign inteligence agencies is
almost certainly a canard created by one Strassman at a conference in
Boston 2 years ago, then retracted.  Anyway, if you use chaining, it's

See

for the gory details.

Note that I use a remailer beacause this group may be gatewayed to Usenet
and I am trying to keep down the spam...
