Well, "somebody" has had access to the MindSpring
newsgroups all
along, one way or another. He had a directory called
"data" on his new
web site that he thought was safe because it wasn't linked from
the
main page, so he didn't password protect it. It contained, along
with
some interesting Excel spreadsheets and all of his Quicken data
files,
a WinWord document called "cyn1.doc" that had all the
posts from the
main Stu-boy thread in it. The document was created by someone
whose
Word was registered to "Larry Kruger" of Advanced
Visual Systems
(avs.com). I've never heard of Larry Kruger before, but a net
search
says he's one of the sales directors at AVS in Massachusetts, so
it's
probably just a matter of everybody illegally using a few copies
of
Word without being careful enough of whose name is where.
I don't mind mentioning this now because he seems to have noticed
the
hits on that directory from his stats file, and has password
protected
it.
