It was noticed that there are misspellings in the "needle" shard.

In order these spell out "tenet" or "stenet" if you count the extra "s" in the spelling of needle.

Also on the "atropine" shard the "e" in atropine is capitalized in the overlapping text. There is also some text bolded and some not.
And probably coincidental but the first letters of <undisclosed recipients list< is URL.

text there possibly from Chomsky?

The last three found be brute force:

http://www.themailstrom.com/necrotic_blE34c.htm
http://www.themailstrom.com/cleaver_I682fg.htm
http://www.themailstrom.com/parasite_tP366K.htm

Looks like these will be the last as the last unmatched piece we have is a shard.

Has anyone begun piecing together the words and letters in the background of these messages? They're littered with them!

They're all from commonly banned books... ETS has a whole list of the texts they're taken from and whatnot.

Hey, I'm new at this whole ARG thing, so go easy on this:

Has anyone tried to find a j_dogg33 on a IM service? The message he wrote on "necrotic" sounds like he's gone into hiding or he's part of the rebel movement. He may be an interactive character.

Interesting premise - if he wasn't writing in the future. If he is alive in the present time, then he may or may not have the same nick, but wouldn't know about any of the events we've seen in Mailstrom.

Our only current conduit between the present & the future appears to be the Open Source Resistence. Appears to me that the rebels in the future have figured out how to send back this information to us in the past, in the hopes our own resistence can prevent this bleak parapin-induced US dictatorship from happening (i.e. Trent's own political viewpoint of where the current administration is heading).
