Declan,
Just in case you haven't seen it yet, there's a truly frightening
story at:
http://www.linuxfreak.org/post.php/08/17/2001/134.html
about an Oklahoma man who accidentally discovered that his local
newpaper's web server permitted anyone at all to edit its content
using the Front Page client without authentication. Like any good
samaritan might, he alerted the newspaper's editor of the problem.
Now, sixteen months later and under threat of prosecution, the U.S.
Attorney's office is attempting to coerce him to accept a plea to
a felony conviction and five years probation. In addition to the
story above see:
http://www.bkw.org/pdf/
for several collateral documents, including correspondence from DOJ
and a detailed description of how this ridiculous travesty unfolded.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance�not soap-boxing�please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'�with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds�is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
