Hey All:
Been on this list for ...god can't remember when...since Ron...from Penn was
here...have gained valuable insight...loved the banter...loved to watch the
flames...go back and forth...between "new-bee"...and the PHD'S...and have
enjoyed every moment.
So...why am I just not sending...a "unsubscribe" to the list keeper...cause
You all mean to much to me...than to just leave without ...reason...or
rhyme...
Some of you who know me...know that besides being an old and
"ugly"...lol
Vietnam Vet...also I do web design...and ebay...to supplement my income.
As of Sunday early am...through my web page...one of my own...not my
customers...
http://www.freeamericanow.com
<http://www.freeamericanow.com>
someone "hacked" through my site ...into my computer...destroying...about 80
% of my window systems files...if I had not came online at 4am...they would
have got em all...firewall security and all.
Since that time...God Bless Microsoft...I have been pulling 8 hour
days...straight on the phone with no breaks...which is more of a credit to
Microsoft than me...
And 12 hour nights...which leaves me about 4 hours sleep a night since
Sunday...to get back up and running again...
Its obvious...that the intruders...and both Microsoft and I...are working on
tracing back the hack...were some of those same people who wrote threatening
emails to me...due to the nature of my web site...which is pretty damn
harmless...overall...I mean...sure...I am one hell of a Hawk...one hell of a
old military...grunt...but I gave free rein and space to all those...who
disagreed...and even offered to publish their comments...which I did do in
several cases...Regardless....they got me...they got me...good...and while
it is true...that...I will never recover the loss data...such as all my
saved .pst outlook files...with all of your guys and gals wonderful
advice...they will never get me to stop...either the page...or my love of
this country.
I am down to about 30% of what I had for systems services...and e-commerce
ability before this attack...
Thus...I need ...until I get all systems...in full capacity...quit a few
things for awhile...I am in the process of buying a complete new
system...one with more protection than this one...but ...hey look ...if
these...guys from Harvard...can hack into the Pentagon...shit...for a
small...business man like me...I am no problem for them...
If one cares however to go to my page...they will now see posted...directly
on the first page...of a rather large site...a WARNING...to those who
choice...to attempt to intimidate me...they may even be able to do it
again...but this time...I do have outside help...a lot bigger and
stronger...and wealthier...than certainly this old vet...but us old combat
vets...we have...quite a brotherhood out there...those 50,000 plus names on
that long dark black...wall in our Nations Capital...they did not die...in
vain...some of those "boys"...for we were all "boys" then...are
responsible...for this letter...for if not for them...I would not be
here...so in their HONOR...I go on...tired...wounded...tattered...and
soiled...just like the flag...over the twin towers...ripped and shell
shocked...she may be...
But like her...I still...Believe in Being the Best YOU can be...and for
me...
That is an AMERICAN
God Bless You All
I will repost sometime within the next day or so...to unsubscribe...not
because I want to...but for now...it is the responsible thing to do...
HAPPY REEFING...
THE MURF
