i know it's hard to accept that people whose carefully-contrived
anti-establishment media image we've all admired (and envied) can be such
sh*ts, but there it is. you're in denial, bud.

the proof exists. i can't publish it for two reasons: 1) the source has
requested anonymity; and 2) the L0pht cheese-eater involved would be subject
to retaliation.

if my proof is cr*p, then @Stake will sue The Register and win their
case in court. but don't hold your breath, lol.
