For those that don't bother to read the llinked article, please read these two sentences quoted from it:

Multiple U.S. officials told The Associated Press that former Army scientist Bruce Ivins was long obsessed with the sorority Kappa Kappa Gamma, going back as far as his own college days at the University of Cincinnati.

However, Graham said there was nothing to indicate that any of the sorority members had anything to do with Ivins.

I'm not sure I see your point?

saw this in a few news stories:
"But the investigators found some personal quirks, according to law enforcement officials and people who knew the scientist well. They found that Dr. Ivins, who had a history of alcohol abuse, had for years maintained a post office box under an assumed name that he used to receive pornographic pictures of blindfolded women.
Years ago, he had visited Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority houses at universities in Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia, an obsession growing out of a romance with a sorority sister in his own college days at the University of Cincinnati — although someone who knew him well said the last such visit was in 1981."

Oh, okay. I thought Kappa might be pointing out that most of the news stories call it a "sorority," when in fact, as we know so well, it's a fraternity.

But the response is fine.

i agree. as bad as the events that took place were, we could have been talking on this very board about a whole different chain of events.

I logged into GC immediately after seeing the headline on Yahoo to see if someone had already posted about it.

And of course it's already been posted... what did I expect?

When I first read the op, I thought there might have been an actual connection b/n KKG and anthrax. Of course it links to the article which makes it clear that is not the case, but not everyone reads the links.
