Gordon, We were actually exchanging e-gold at the time, not using PayPal as a credit card processor for hosting or domain registrations. Of course that made things much worse because it meant each charge back was serious monies lost rather than only revenue lost, hence my rage.
Jim, I did spend quite a while in Iran during my youth and learned to handle a Kalashnikov, G3 and Uzi (although the prior more manhandled me than the other way around, as I recall). You see, after the revolution there were not many pig eaters left and a few years later wild boars were starting to destroy fields and orchards up Northeast at the Caspian sea. The gov was reluctant to arm their own Christian minorities and hence invited Christian expatriates for weekend hunts (two guys with automatic rifles and machine guns on the back of a pick-up truck, unlimited ammo, free choice of weapon - among the military gear that was available). Ten minutes trining to show the safety and how to reload, and off we went hunting boars. I remember the first time, when after a whole night of hunting the score came in at one boar, hundreds of rounds of ammo used and a French guy who had shot a German in the foot ;o) We got better after a while (no, the French didn't shoot the German in the head, we got more boars). On the next trip they actually gave us shot guns, which took all the fun out of it.
