2002 October 20, Fin Fahey, “Re: Planet X Debate Enterprise2002 vs J.William Dell”, in alt.usenet.kooks (Usenet):It is irrelevant what his identity is - particularly since you have told us, in your little bit of tinfoilhattery above, that you refuse to reveal yours.

2014 July 31, Tim McDaniel, “Re: _Forsaking Home_ (The Survivalist Series) by Angery American”, in rec.arts.sf.written (Usenet):James was giving background on general tinfoilhattery; I gather that this book has only touched on a subset.
