I just know that there are a lot of very good hackers out there with sites all over the place. And who knows why they might pick one and not another? Just a roll of the dice maybe.

A YouTube boob, that is. I don't think it'd be difficult to find a place like this, and apparently they've got the chops to get in. Wouldn't be fair to play the blame game...so let's play Hungry Hungry Hippo instead! (Apoloogies to H. Simpson.) Me too. A YouTube boob, that is.

A code like this is basically unbreakable by brute force. "Aunt Mildred is looking for a used bicycle" could mean "attack at dawn," or "pick up pasta when you go past the grocery store."

I've never used any form of filter that I couldn't go into and "tune" to my own specifications, including the right to block or permit specific addresses.
