Why of course! Some should appear on the ARSCC Entertainment Page very soon. (or later ;-) I have the okay to post this now. It seems that Julian Assange, the admin of suburbia.net, has been getting enquiries about me. Here are his emails on the subject. (BTW, if you're going to call someone on their unlisted number as a means to show how much you know about them ... it's probably not such a good stunt to try on a [retired, of *course*] hacker/phreaker.)

He claimed his name was `David Middleton'. I asked for his phone number and called him back (to confirm it - number = 97250705, croydon area). He wanted to know the usual information (how long had you had an account, what did I know about your personal life etc). To which I stated that I couldn't possibly divulge information about my users, withouy their permission, and that I didn't track what they were doing in anyevent. He mentioned private investigator Greg Hooper, who I have a `relationship' with. Presumably to gain credibility. Mr. Middleton sounded in his 60's (though this could just be his personal style, but definately over 40). In the background I heard children playing - so I presume he is working from home (which is common among PI's, so one can't read too much into that). Cheers, Julian.

This isn't incredible, as I do use this number in conjunction with my name in various business / government dealings. -- http://thingy.apana.org.au/~fun/scn/ http://www.suburbia.net/~fun/scn/ I hereby encourage all earthlink.net users to leave for a provider whose email and Usenet messages are not boycotted by the rest of the net, and for ISPs to continue to block earthlink.net email and Usenet messages from Earthlink, until earthlink.net *stop* the flow of junk email and spam.
