What's really interesting...

Post #53,967 by admin 9/30/02 12:39:34 PM Reply	What's really interesting... Is that this person did the following only: Hit the main page. Created a new user. Hit the Water Cooler Forum. Hit the root post in this thread only. Added the response. That's it. The user 1) knew exactly where he was going and 2) was here explicitly to add that response. He didn't look at ANYTHING other than what was necessary to create the post. Oh... some interesting name lookup information on his IP address: adsl-65-64-153-148.dsl.stlsmo.swbell.net In other words... it is someone who had been here as a user already and it is someone who lives in St. Louis...

Since I have the perp pretty much dead to rights with additional access log information that I haven't posted... It never hurts to apologize... especially considering the amount of time I've had to invest tracking this crap down. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

I remember a co-worker who watched me on sleazyboard and shuffled my picture around. I was convinced one of you guys had hacked our server and was twisting in knots trying to find the hole while he was laughing his ass off. thanx, bill will work for cash and other incentives [link\|http://home.tampabay.rr.com/boxley/resume/Resume.html\|skill set] qui mori didicit servire dedidicit

I wonder if I made anyone there mad enough at me to do that? I'll write it off as a joke, if they do not do it again. I had a friend kill himself in 1999, that, as far as I know, is no joke. He faced a lot more demons than I did, but like me, one factor was the same, he was depressed and suicidal at times, and was going through a computer job at a small company that stressed him out. There are other reasons I won't go into here. But anyway if that poster stops, I assume they found out from Google.com or something else, I can forgive them. I assume they know how to email me, so drop me an email and explain your beef with me instead of posting it on a public forum. Sorry for being out of it, work had stressed me out a bit, I had to rest, also I was trying to get XP installed at my system at home and it frelled up the system, it would not let me uninstall, said the files were modified, so I reinstalled 98SE, only it doesn't all work right. *[link\|http://games.speakeasy.net/data/files/khan.jpg\|"Khan!!!" -Kirk]*
