Can you also not read?  allspice.chadeux.net.  That's all the finding
you need.

No, this is justifiable.  It's mail transfer, an outgoing connection,
but I wouldn't assume you'd know anything about that.  In fact, for one
person to adequately crack the system in it's present configuration
would be nearly impossible to do without a very targeted attack on it
from as many angles as is possible, which is why I won't open it up to a
challenge.  You aren't smart enough IMHO to attack it successfully from
any, or even know what methods to use to attack it.  Many wouldn't be.

The thing with my system is that nobody on this list, save myself, can
*GET* UID 0 access to my machine.  Period.  If you'd like to try, go for
it.  Until then, I conclude that you're a fucking moron, for lack of
more polite terms that can *possibly* describe you.

If I feared anything, I wouldn't have given you a production machine
with my data on it.

Lamer.  Calling upon silly quotes, even.

Weak, I am not.  Poor sport, I am not, either.  You're very deserving.
