It looked to me as if the file was actually what it was supposed to be--a
listing of books for sale. I don't think that someone who wasn't in the law
field would know enough to create a list of books like that. I was actually
interested in several of them, although I prefer to have donations :). I also
think I have seen his name on the list before. Therefore I am of the opinion
that this was unintentional.
