Re: learning ethical hacking [my eBook collection]

Hello all! Since there has been so much confusion surrounding the
eBooks I was going to release (due to many, many replies about it both
on and off the list & some posts not getting beyond the moderator), I
wanted to send a message out to help clear it up.

Originally I had sent two emails to the list with links and such to
the various eBooks (which I obtained from Google). Unfortunately since
none of the content was hosted by me (again, just found through Google
searches), I was unable to contact the authors to see if they minded
having their books online. the moderator fo this list did his job and
stopped the email. I completely understand and have no hard feelings
towards that. =)

Unfortunately, after not seeing it the first time (but seeing other
replies I had sent show up), I resent the emails in a different format
(providing a link to my website that contained the emails). I had done
this before hearing back from the moderator that he had blocked my
original emails. By this time, there were three emails from me,
waiting to be sent to the list. The moderator saw the first one and
politely explained what happened and why he couldn't allow it. Then
after seeing the second one, he again explained why he couldn't allow
it and requested I didn't do it again. Well, after seeing the third
one, confusion arose from everywhere! Needless to say, he was upset,
thinking I was trying to get around the moderators. In reality, I just
figured my email got lost due to aspam filter or something BEFORE it
ever got to the moderator. (From the time I sent it to the time he
replied saying he couldn't allow it was over 24 hours, almost 2 days.)

Kelly, I assure you I didn't try to circumvent your moderation by
sending the link to my website. I had sent all this the day before
ever hearing your reasons for blocking the first email I sent. I
completely understand and respect your decision to not allow them to
the list. I wanted to make sure you understood that. ;)

Please allow this message to go through to the list to explain the
situation to those waiting for the eBooks. Many people kindly offered
to host them for me, plus sent me all kinds of ideas and links off
list. I don't want them to think I didn't appreciate it.

To the list, unfortunately I will not be able to share the information
I have through this list. Check out Google yourself if you'd like to
see what I found. =)
