You think this isn't attributable evidence? Looks solid to me. You want Think Secret to reveal their sources? That's like saying the Watergate break-in wasn't created at the White House because The Washington Post never revealed theirs.

Are you so cynical that you have to hear Steve confess before you will believe the TS account? http://www.thinksecret.com/news/freeiapps.html k On Wednesday, January 29, 2003, at 10:10 PM, Gordon B.
