Mulling over George Pope to ALL 15 Feb 2005

Hi George!

 GP> I recently was chatting with an online friend in ICQ, for whom I
 GP> knew an old hotmail address.

 GP> He told me he had taken a bunch of codeine pills, so I called the
 GP> police station in his city and told them -- while she had me on the
 GP> phone, within about 3 minutes, she had his home address, and the
 GP> fact he lived with his mother, and was able to dispatch an officer
 GP> right away!

 GP> That's amazing!  (that Microsoft/Hotmail allows a foreign police's
 GP> secretary to access such details in real-time, without any
 GP> documentation/approvals needed! 

I guess what is even more amazing is that someone created a Hotmail
account and gave a valid name / address. I have Hotmail addresses
blocked in my spam filter, as I don't need any bodypart extenders,
medications, adult pictures, inkjet refills etc from their users.

Cheers, Steve..
