Dave,

Folks on IP might enjoy hearing about this -- if only as a change of  
pace -- since it is about a small cause, taken up spontaneously,  
seeking to remedy one person's plight.  Particularly coming  
immediately after the mass of self-serving, self-promoting and  
alienating silliness we call an election season, it really is quite  
nice to be reminded so concretely that there are folk at the other --  
and far more appealing -- end of the spectrum.

Besides kudos for a job well-done, Alex warrants thanks for that  
reminder.

Teacher who narrowly escaped jail in spyware case says her life is  
ruined
<http://www.itbusiness.ca/it/client/en/home/news.asp?id=50983>

"Her conviction in January 2007 was the low point of her life, but soon
after that Amero found a champion in Alex Eckelberry, the CEO of Sunbelt
Software, who contacted her after hearing about her case.

After looking at the evidence, he and other security professionals
concluded that Amero had been wrongly convicted. Within months they had
mustered a high-powered team of lawyers and security experts who
ultimately got the guilty verdict overturned, setting the stage for a
retrial.

She calls Eckelberry her "shining star" and keeps a picture of him on  
her
wall."

...

"Amero: I felt like, 'I'm going to die. I'm going to go to jail.' I  
walked
out of there looking to find me a new toothbrush to take to jail. I  
was in
bed for a week or so, crying. My husband had to stay home with me. My
family came to me, and we thought I was going to jail. And then out of
nowhere, Alex popped up.

IDGNS: Alex Eckelberry, the CEO of Sunbelt Software.

Amero: He's my shining star. He hangs on my wall at my home.

IDGNS: Does he really?

Amero: There's a picture of him there. My husband even blew it up."

Kudos to Alex!

-Hank
