again i gave the schwab as a pure example but not related directly to this case at all. I only mentioned it to give you a scope of what could be done if one wanted to be subversive.

all i was really trying to say was this:

1) People went to his profile. They thought they were at si. In reality they were at a page that looked identical on his company site.

2) Cheeky could have kept the IP and used to gain access to their computer via a automated robot program or whatever.

whether he did or not is his knowledge not ours as we don't have access to the source code at his site.

there are many things that can be done, even the famous teardrop. I've seen the source code and know how it works.

the point is basically not to make a hoax si site. If you are going to make one, at least put something in big letters that says something to the effect "this is not the official SI site".

I don't know why ck and cheeky have been feuding or how long but to me just seeing cheeky's many responses to ck's few tells me that cheeky is winning the war by yelling louder. That doesn't make him right. Like i say I don't know whats going on but judging on what ck has told me I think she has a right to wonder why he is bugging her.
