While this is vaguely entertaining, it's posts like this that make you out to be an egotistical arsehole. Great that you have been around the block and know what you're doing, but this is a board on a scrap website, not the praise Lostinlodos fan club.
You're the admin here. Keep it professional.

Good point. Bad bit of gotcha moment.

Interesting read, but I understand archives point as well. We need an off topic "praise Lostinlodos" subtopic for all these interesting rants on spammers and hackers!

I was trolling the troll.
And thearchivebooks is correct. In doing so I became a troll.

I apologise to all for my actions. It (hopefully) won’t happen again.

This is a scrap forum but in some ways it is also a gathering of like minded people who are interacting with each other and having conversations. Since conversations never stay on topic (which would tend to be boring) it is only natural, entertaining and informative in having these digressions. I for one, have enjoyed the different offshoots that occasionally pop up and find little bits of usable life information. Lost has been in the position of helping people for many years and like most people who do, it is hard not to throw out these little bits of life experience since he cares about people (if he didn't he wouldn't take the time to do this). As always when people go to forums they have the choices of reading or not each and every post so I say no harm (some good) no foul. I agree have a Rant section for slightly off topics, I would enjoy reading them. I am sure we have many computer techs and users who would benefit from said section. It is all about helping people. I take any info and help where I can get it when I have a good incite into the person giving the info which I have on Lost since has put himself out there in his posts thru the years.

My intent was an over the top read through, showing others a way to look beyond the text of their email and think things through.

The general reaction is to pay. Doxing is generally either malicious or fake. The first will release everything even if you pay. The latter doesn’t have anything the rest of the world could find out if they wanted.

I posted the exact email I got in that I posted my exact reply.
In retrospect, Thearchivebooks is correct.

Apologies for my quasi harsh reaction.
