MessageLOL...that's the funniest thing I've ever heard. I don't know of the gentleman you speak of but a quick search brought up http://www.mitnicksecurity.com/ I don't think you have read my questions - one has nothing to do with the other. It would be an amazing feat for me let alone anyone else to be able to 'hack' into any subscribers computer with the information I'm looking for. Once again, conspiracy theories prevail over logic - did you call Homeland yet?

Even if I did work for www.bmgsolutions.com and they did provide IT solutions - what difference would it make to you, the end user, in me learning about how you use these products? LOL....you should email that company to see what happens. ----- Original Message ----- From: Doug Rooney To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2005 11:31 AM Subject: [THIN] Re: Newbie Questions Very Odd???? http://www.bmgsolutions.com/ Who am I?

The reason for not using it is because I've already recieved 20 or so threads from this newsgroup among the others Im subscribed too. I like to keep things organized and since I never use my personal email account - it serves newsgroup purposes well. You don't have to answer the questions but I find it very odd by folks working in the industry to question my intentions. These are not 'threatining' are they?
