Chris and all sgb members,

  Ok so basically second hand hearsay.  Well, such evidance is of
some but not allot of practical use for this subgroup.  Admittedly
however I assume that Phishing and other fraudulent is growing
rapidly.  I do not assume that all LEA's and especially law firms
or Orgs. like RIAA or MPAA characterized testimonials are
even close to accurate or factual in any manner.  Many have
a Political bias, compation incentive or another of mixed
purposes ax to grind...
