very interesting. I read one of the links but it doesn't state whether or not these were intentional or not. That is, did the add on script have by accident incorporated a trojan file?/
"God, from the mount Sinai
whose grey top shall tremble,
He descending, will Himself,
in thunder, lightning, and loud trumpet’s sound,
ordain them laws".
