dealing with dictionary attacks

[Steve Campbell]

Hey Res!!!!

You're not supposed to be taking me serious. I never had the problem (what 
problem?) that you couldn't reproduce. It's no wonder you couldn't reproduce 
it.  And I just stated I applied a patch that fixed a non-existant problem.

How did this get transferred to _my_ problem?

Have a great day, I'm backing out of this one for now.
