subject: new passwords

BL>   I sent netmail to Frank this morning without an address to see if
 BL> pwk222 works. What do you mean a random address? You said pwk222
 BL> fixed this by sending bad netmail back to me. What's the point of it,
 BL> if it doesn't?

It will, give it a day to turn it around.  BTW, the remaps would
have overridden this, except some months ago I decided not to add
in new remaps, and so Frank hasn't got a remap in, whilst you do.
The change I was going to make was to get rid of you et al from
the remaps.

 PE>> Would the following people, who have compromised their password
 PE>> to my knowledge, please send me a netmail with a new password.

 BL>   When did I compromise my password? I haven't sent a message to
 BL> Areafix for yonks. I think you are wrong on this. I may have *said* I
 BL> told everyone my password, but I lied.

From memory, you originally said your password was xxx when it
wasn't, but later on you said it was yyy and it was.

 BL>   And who gives a stuff anyway? What's it matter if someone besides
 BL> you (and anyone you like to tell) knows my password? What are they
 BL> going to do - steal my Rod Speed mail? Are they going to write
 BL> offensive messages? I do that anyway, and I defy anyone to be more
 BL> offensive than me. I am so offensive I embarrass myself.

What they're going to do is post 4000 messages into DR_DEBUG.
You can do that - once.

 PE>> Because last time I politely requested people to send me a new
 PE>> password I didn't get any responses (or at least any responses
 PE>> with a new password), this time I won't be polite.

 BL>   I ignored you the last time because I thought you were wrong (and I
 BL> still think you are wrong). What makes you think I compromised my
 BL> password? Do you have any evidence, or did it just come to you in the
 BL> night as a revelation?

I noticed it in a message.  However, I just checked my area, and
I couldn't find it.  Either I got confused because "luniwank"
used to be, or the message has been deleted, as my messagebases
have been corrupted several time.

 BL>   Okay. But you're bloody nuisance. I'll have to recalculate the CRC
 BL> for TinyPoint, Devil Dialler, and that dickhead freq program I wrote.
 BL> And if I send it to you netmail with a compromised password, then how
 BL> is it any less compromised? These bastards who are stealing my mail
 BL> and pretending to be Bob Lawrence will just steal the new password.

Eh?  You can't see netmail that you have already sent to me.

 BL> PS: I may not be a real Bob. I could be one of those bastards who know
 BL> my password and are stealing all my messages to Rod Speed, so I'll
 BL> give you the password now: ********.

If you're not the real Bob, and I put in the new password, I'm
sure the real Bob will be ringing me or Brenton up quickly
enough.  BFN.  Paul.
