Obviouly, you didn't get beyond the first paragraph.
If you had you would have reaized that the purpose
of the message was to:

Of course, if you only got to the first paragraph,
which was written in pun, you would have
understood that this was a call to:

>...use the master's tools to take down the master's house.

Clearly, you in the UK, are not affected by the
prohibitions outlined in the Communications
Decency Act, but we here in the US are, and
I think that that makes it importatnt enough
for a few people to receive the message who
might not have needed to get it.

I hope this clears things up and makes the
original intent of the message less cluttering
in your mailbox.

Peace,
Gyan
