You guys may recall the FTPPro folks threatening to sue me unless I removed a 7-year old Bugtraq posting of them threatening someone else[1]. They weren't at all happy about me forwarding their message here, and then sent me a flurry of emails and voice messages for a day or two, but I ignored them and they eventually gave up. But just when I thought it was over, I have this different guy (message below) emailing me, my ISP, and my ISP's backbone provider threatening to "notify the FBI" unless I immediately remove a thumbnail-sized image posted to the full-disclosure security list. Apparently in his warped fantasies, the hairy guy in the picture is a minor. Ironically, this is the sort of crap posting that I normally do remove when people notify me politely, rather than threatening to call in the FBI! Actually the "notification" I get is usually a bandwidth spike caused by people looking for "furry porn" that some twit likes posting to full-disclosure. Ah, the joys of running a public mailing list archive :).
The joys of participating nearly equals it. Thanks for sharing these bright rays of humorous moronity :)

If that's a minor, he's fairly well-developed in the leg-fur department. I'm thinking FBI would be mildly annoyed if they got called to investigate and actually had a look at the pic. ;-) -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson () op5 se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org
