P2U is/was Dutch, Married to a Russian woman and lives(d) in Moscow. I 'met' him on the Kaspersky forums after I had bought KAV7 a few years ago. Amongst other things he specialised in computer forensics and was trying to help me investigate how 'bad guys' do things. Here is a past PM conversation: QUOTE (by me! BD) If I type http://www.annex.com into IE7, my AOL browser or Firefox - it works as expected (or should I say as I might expect?). I wouldn't be surprised if you told me something was not quite right, even at first base! REPLY I understand that googlesyndication and google-analytics are there asking to execute scripts and to drop cookies, but what the **** are live.com and msn.com doing there?!? OK. I'll register later today as p2u. I have to go and see a student right now. I'll be back in an hour or three. Paul _____________________________________________________________________ Regrettably, little further progress ensued. Here's the reason why. Message from Paul, 27.09.2008 05:50 Hi, Dave! Yes, I owe you an explanation, but I couldn't find the strength to write you about it. At the end of last year, I was diagnosed with a swelling in the pancreatic area. I've been through hell all this time. Life expectancy is not much; at most 2 years. The problem is that the swelling was benign, but is turning into a malignant one. An operation means almost certain death. I'm not afraid of dying, not for myself - I just wonder how my little son is going to take this. I hope you understand, that in such a state of mind I'm not eager at all to communicate with anyone. This is nothing personal. I hope you understand that. That's also the reason why I rarely appear on this forum - the 'how-are-you' stuff scares me. I don't know how I am and why this is happening to me... Kind regards, Paul _______________________________________________________________________ There is more information here should you be mildly interested. http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.security&tid=7f8b4469-dc0f-4b3a-97b9-bff300db8714&cat=&lang=&cr=&sloc=&p=1 Or http://snurl.com/vy6sc It is basically an extract of posts I 'stored' on Jenn's BB but folk would have to register to read same there. http://pqlr.org/bbs/ If I'm wasting your time, forgive me. My only ambition is to help, in any small way, to ruffle the feathers of the bad guys to which you refer. I seek only the truth. -- Dave

How would you feel about putting in a good word for me, Dustin? I genuinely felt (still feel) that the picture I posted was in no way pornographic and *was* meant simply in fun - *not* intended to be offensive. It was also in the Honorary Members group which is not, as far as I'm aware, accessible by the general public or children. -- Dave

Are you smoking crack or heavily drinking? You just told me you forged yourself a new identity to evade the BAN previously placed on you, and then you want me to put in a good word for you? Laughable, frakking laughable. You lack honor and disipline. -- "Hrrngh! Someday I'm going to hurl this...er...roll this...hrrngh.. nudge this boulder right down a cliff." - Goblin Warrior

You know, if nobody replied to boater Dave he might just go away. Maybe. We can only hope. 8-) -- JD.. |
