 Why?!?  This is an issue with the above two programs, not with the Cobalt.
 Don't you people get it yet?

 *sigh*
 So let's say you've lost $1,500. And 'pop and pizza'.
 Do you know what that really is in terms of business?  Nothing.
 Write it off as a loss.
 This is not because you're running a Cobalt. This is NOT Cobalt's fault.

should we keep his /her parents responsible......?
 
 HE is the one who hacked into my site and chat server.  HE is the one I
 called the FBI about. HE is the one I called his ISP about. And HE is the
 one who got in a lot of trouble for all of these chat sites having all of
 these problems.
 
<<< this is what I am doing   BUT the FBI wont work on anything now unless 
you can show you lost $10,000 that is all...I am NOT talking about sueing 
cobalt or bind...HELL I am sending a case of special import dutch beer to the 
techies at Cobalt who helped me patiently twice now.


 This is the SAME thing.
 Blame the people who are responsible for this - the hackers, NOT Cobalt or
 the people who wrote BIND and ProFTPd!!

<<< yes Dear (looking sweet, fully agreeing)
