| subject: | Re: ISS warns of new Microsoft Windows flaw |
From: "John Beamish" Reminds me of Geo's story when he diligently tracked and cross-referenced access info, IP addresses, etc. (I don't remember exaclty) to get some info on a guy who was visiting a site/discussion group Geo. went to. Finally, Geo. had him pinpointed and the next time he came online Geo told him what he knew. The discussion went on for a bit and then the guy said "Sorry." And Geo's NT session blue-screened. Or something like that. Geo. can provide all the details.
