How might you break the law and how might I be interested in such
law-breaking?

Indeed, I don't remember myself ever cheating (in the suggested manner
or otherwise) , though I did write people's philosophy papers for them
(for money).

Mark English was helpful as well. I enjoyed his sarcasm but chose to
discard (or otherwise ignore) it in my reply.

I merely meant that you appeared to be playing one, not that I (or you)
believe they exist. But in order for us to talk of them (and their
existence/non-existence) we must have a pre-existing notion(s) of what
one is. Indeed, this is what I referring to, the *notion* of a devil.

I found great humor in your reply. Indeed, your replies were helpful.
What might you do illegal of which I might want to discover your true
identity? If you begin cursing and saying fouls things, I would merely
leave the mailing-list/newsgroup or hope that the admin would kill-file
you. No need for legal action.

As I haven't concocted anymore lists of questions, people can redirect
their attention elsewhere. That is unless people enjoy this discourse.
