Okay…That is really wrong and your articles make me want to really rethink what I’m doing with my emails accounts…I don’t even know if someone can get into my account…Or if someone is in there now…Wow…

Plus, you information on those now “brute-forcing tools” that can break through that CAPTCHA safety gate and get you!
It’s really amazing you know this stuff and tell others…
I just don’t get it…Being older I need to start telling all my friends about the power of your knowledge…I have to be careful…Thanks again for you help…

I don’t have time, although I would love to respond to all you articles, blogs or words, but you really have opened up my world today on so many things…Just learning a lot of this now! :-)
