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.
