[However, I'm going to call you on this:

[He is likely English/Brit (based on the topics he posted).

Go study internet security for 7 years, do CS at college, learn
computer programming in C++ and PHP, find hacks for Google/ Yahoo,
setup your own security group, be friends with hundreds of people in
multiple scenes, have IM and E-mail contact with some of Yahoo's top
security advisors and security engineers, then you can come back to
this list and challenge me. FOOL!
