Whoa. Wait a minute. You mean there are people going around pretending to be some legitmate organization and asking for peoples credit cards? *gasp* Say it's not so... Quickly, to the NANOG-mobile... Next you'll be telling us that there are people out there using peer to peer file sharing services to trade MP3's they don't own the rights to, or that I won't be getting my $50mil from that nice guy who wrote me from Nigeria... You are far too cynical. -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras@e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)
