Andrew Plato posted an excellent warning about not revealing too much
about your OS, Systems, etc., as hackers oftemmine this information. I
may be a victim,and if so it's my own fault.

This weekend I was downloading MP3 of Kaazaa, and I came back to find
that someone was downloading my tech writing samples. Since I believe
KaaZaa only scans the files you elect to share, I assume someone was
hacking...I can't think of why someone with "Evil" in their screen name
would want a document called "Administration of ****** Portal.pdf"

Thoughts or comments?
