for a start ids really isnt the place to discuss stuff like
this. second, you are sprouting alot of crap.. i see no insinuation
anywhere of ~krish's guilt, merely a decisive intent on the part of
the administrator to get to the bottom of this issue. how do you know
that ~krish hasnt legally signed away his rights by agreeing to some
form of acceptable usage policy? basically the way i see it is that
you are trying to start some out of proportion furor out of
nothing. in future i suggest you keep your diatribes to yourself, if
not at the very least off ids.

P.S. is this so called richard really ~krish fakeing mail? i ask you...
