Of course, now *we* all know that there *is* a freak hacker out there,
that he has a hack, and that it can be dangerous. Presumably the FBI
could prosecute *us* for "failing to provide information in a timely
manner regarding a dangerous software bug". (The fact that we
don't know his name, handle, modus operandi, wishes, pets, and
even whether he goes to sleep at a reasonable hour -- i.e., 4 AM --
is a minor detail.)
Lovely thought -- is George Orwell still alive? :-)

It's MUCH MUCH MUCH more prevalent in male homosexuals than the

Our (sadly, soon to be re-elected) prime minister is a self confessed
