Oh for god sake, give me a break! You should've just deleted that  
email! Don't take everything seriously. I probably wouldn't have even  
bothered with that email. It just waists space in inboxes all around  
the world when forwarded to a list such as this.

Hi,
Firstly, you don't need to hack someone's computer to get their IP

how to edit hex,) and get a fingerprint of your computer, then  
upload the infected copy to the main game site and replace the old  
one with their version. Next, your computer does not have an IP  
address unless it is connected to the internet--or you force change  
it. Nowadays, your computer is assigned an address only when it  
connects to the router handing out addresses. If it is forcec  
ahnged, then you most likely won't be able to connect to the  
internet until you give yourself up to DHCP again. As for the  
restart bug I remember someone else mentioned it too. So if this  
person did change the code, well, they're a pretty bad programmer to  
say the least. I think they need to take some REAL computer science  
courses versus just pretending they know how to do x y and z--like  
many blind people tend to do, unfortunately.

Hi all
I was totally shocked when I got a very strange e-mail.
And I am dead serious, this is not a joke.
I really got this e-mail!

Hello nicol
I sit with a very ugly grin on my face as I am writing this e-mail.
I see you are having a very nice time with the sara game, ay?
Ghosts only takes little itsy bits of energy away if you are getting
touched by them.
And they are  talking so nicely  to you, telling you for instance  
that

they hope you get sorted into the huffle puf house.
I do not like this, rahrorrr!
I enjoy it when you quickly lose the game.
Mooo haaa haaa
So I went and tampered with the sarah game.
I hacked in on mister vlasak's server and I have tampered with the  
sarah

game. While you were surfing on the net, I hacked in on your computer
and got your I p address.
Then I hacked into mister vlasak's server and tampered with the sara
game in such a way that  only you will lose the game quikly.
I tampered with the ssarah game in such a way that it will read  
your I p

address  even though you are not on the net.
Other gamers are quite relaxed if they lose in pack man, so far it is
only you who gets frustrated when losing in pack man.
Mooo ha ha ha ha
Now the friendly hogwarts ghosts, will almost  behave like us pack  
man

ghosts, on higher floors of hogwarts at least.
You have most probably already noticed this.
When you get touched by a ghost, whether you are in patronous mode or
not, the game restarts.
I actually made a bit of a mess, you know?
I did not intend that the game must restart if you touch a  ghost   
when
you are in patronous mode. But well, no use crying over spilled  
pumpkin

juice, you know?

But at least you lose the game very easily on higher floors of  
hogwarts.

That's how I like it!
So do not blame phil for this strange behavior that you are
experiencing.
I tampered with the sarah game.
Its not a bug on phil's  side.
Its also not your computer lacking resources.
Its me, I tampered with the sarah game.
Now you certainly are going to  ask me how I did it?
Mooo haaa haaa
Do you really think I am  going to tell you, ay?

Well, unfortunatly, I cannot get the sarah game  ghosts to say things
that we pack mang ghosts say but at least now I know they will end  
the

game quickly just like we ghosts are doing in pack man.
I enjoy it when you bang your head against the wall of frustration, I
enjoy it when you are pulling at your hair.
That's how it should be!
Cheers
End of e-mail
Guys, I will not joke about something like this.
I really got this e-mail.
I am aware that the pack man ghosts is not real, probably an  evil  
guy

out there trhying to do me and phil  in.
I hope he can be traced and persecuted for what he did.
Mods and gamers, please believe me. This is not a joke.
This is real.
I really got the e-mail.
Please do not be surprised if you try to contact this bloke and the

bounce back to you.
He probably just set up this address to send me this nasty e-mail and

Nicol,
I wouldn't worry about it. The e-mail sent to you is quite obviously a 
prank. Someone is pulling a joke on you. For one thing it is full of 
technical
errors, and whoever wrote the original message doesn't know as much 
about computers as he claims he does.
For example, the author of the message says, "I tampered with the ssarah 
game in such a way that it will read your IP

address  even though you are not on the net."
This is an out and out falsehood. When you are not connected to the 
internet you don't have an IP address unless you have a local network in 
your home. Since most people don't have a local network in their home 
you aren't likely to have an IP address when off line.
There are plenty of several other technical inaccuracies in this persons 
e-mail proving the person is an idiot, and can't be taken seriously. It 
is in my mind just a joke someone is pulling on you.
