Though, even in the internet days, trading was much more common 15 years ago. I trade back then.
Also, I once traded with a domestic terrorist and got some ricin on my cards. He said it was an accident and the ricin wasn't mean for me. Other than his anti-government rants, he seemed like a nice guy so I believed him. But you won't believe how hard it is to get ricin out of silks. Cotton is easy-- a few spin cycles and some hydrogen peroxide-- but silk is a total bitch. Later on someone told me to microwave the damn silk for fifteen minutes, that that was too late for my favorite boxers. F*ck this internet trading bs, I thought, and went back to Telegrade.

I would be a bit careful about joking around with anything related to any terrorism nowadays. There are people who read this board that would not take those comments lightly.
