Mexico is where most of the phishers originate. Pictures, links, form,
fonts. Copied straight from the major US banks.
Site is hooked from a misnamed link. Insert name/password/credit card
number/expiration date. Click "go" then form submitted to server, in
Mexico, phisher capital of the North American continent. Notable as
the largest source of spam in such continent.
I'm suprised of your knowledge of usnet, where ISP's offer free
a 5 gig download per month and where a 30 second porno loop is up
to 20 megs at good quality mpeg 2, posted on hundreds of groups.
You should get your "head" out of Perl and get a little worldly.
Usenet isn't a "www" forum. There are people who actually pay alot of
money for it. Usenet is a big "spam" buisness, big for the ISP's.
Repeated huge, huge file size porno postings, identical and cycled,
just to bust the per month max download per month. There is no
doubt that this is contractual. By who? Whoever will benifit
monitarily. So your rather small textual group is floating in
usenet sea made up of quad-terabytes of porno uploaded and
downloaded with pipes so thick (mainly from 3 sources) you can't
even imagine. Your 2400 baud Ventel modem can't keep up.
I would suggest you get on a "www" forum where everybodys
bitch an moan results in administrator ban.

The next jerk that writes a Perl 1-liner, and specifically
tells me to excecute it from my command line. I may do it.
And I assume that jerk wants to see the output and I will
post it back to them straight away! Cause I'm no expert in
Perl like all you "regulars" are. I have no idea if your
trying to "teach" or just "*** my harddrive up"!!!!!!!!
Thats right, if your trying to "***" me up, I'll come back
with output of "YOUR" 1-liner, that "YOU" told me to run
and post it straight away to your usenet group.

I hope I'm clear with all you "experts" there. I'm not
and you are. If you tell me to execute a Perl program
on this group, and you are a "PRO", do expect to have
the "output" of your program to be "uploaded" for questions!!!!!
