Thanks - teach. Sometimes grammar has problems. Also grandpa.

Let's try again. My bad.

========================================================

How does this work? Does a spammer pay for an SI account? Do they hijack an account?

We've been talking on the SI v IHUB thread about hijacked old unused accounts. There are several people, who have an agenda to attack Jews, and who have very similar posting styles. These now departed posters have bragged about having many accounts and also some sort of ability to access "secrets" with respect to accounts.

Someone suggested that it is fairly easy to hijack an unused name as people do not put much effort into making up passwords.

It's interesting and I am wondering if SI Bob has reviewed this type of thing. Most seem to have happened prior to his taking over SI.
