Wow, and I thought my removing of those 3 miles of flooding of my channel in
my logs was possible.

Guess I should check them again to see if it's still there.

GASP! It's deleted. Weird. I did something impossible!

""The court heard that police examinations of Caffrey's machine recovered
log files of a chatroom conversation that recorded the exact moment the
attack took place. But the defence argued that if a vulnerability exists,
the log files could easily have been changed by someone who had accessed
the
system remotely.
The defence counsel asked Stunt if it was possible to cut some text from
one
log file and paste it into another log file from a remote computer. Stunt
dismissed the idea: "Remotely, the answer would be no. It is impossible,
the
technology does not exist," he said.""
