Besides I can't afford a lawyer, don't want to put any money the way of ThievingScumbagLawyers.co.uk, and what is the point of sueing a person who almost certainly is going bust and hence can't afford to pay up. Finally it was most certainly *NOT* me who did the hacking. If it had of been I would have taken the same type of action just to teach Nikos a lesson, but I would have owned up to my trickery after a few hours. As it happens my skills are so outdated that I wouldn't have the faintest idea where to start, unless of course I'd have taken the trouble of wading through the gazillions of posts talking about websites here with the occasional mention of how (not) to write Python. -- Cheers.
