Actually, I'd seen someone rating quite a few of your articles highly, and I
kinda assumed that it was you :) :)  My password is kinda easy to remember as
passwords go, containing my initials, a single repeated digit and a naff name
that I remember for its naff-ness, all handily symetrically mirrored too! I
assume that it's an almighty coincidence because I remember Todd saying
something complex about how they were randomly generated..

(...) It would be a total coincidence, yes, and BTW you shouldn't be giving away details like that about your password. You just made it 2,050 times easier for someone to brute-force crack your password. :-( --Todd (24 years ago, 26-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
