i know it's hard to accept that people whose carefully-contrived 
anti-establishment media image we've all admired (and envied) can be such 
sh*ts, but there it is.  you're in denial, bud.  

the proof exists.  i can't publish it for two reasons: 1) the source has 
requested anonymity; and 2) the L0pht cheese-eater involved would be subject 
to retaliation.  

if my proof is cr*p, then @Stake will sue The Register and win their
case in court.  but don't hold your breath, lol.
