http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/11/13/palin_email_hacker_motions/ A high profile case, where this point is argued. I have a Bee in my Bonnet on this issue. No forum here has ever been hacked. It is always passwords/rogue admins that are the issue. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums Last edited by admin (no pm's please) on Sat Nov 15, 2008 5:01 pm; edited 1 time in total
