Been a while I think

If I remember correctly it's been this way for years. Funny thing is when I would go there and look up my information I just never thought about it being abused. But I do remember having issues with my address changing a lot. I hope you at least got a free subscription for your discovery.

I didn't get anything for it, but wasn't asking either. I'm just glad its taken care of. Macworld didn't seem to happy that I made it public.

Jealous, I dont think so. He could have quietly made his findings to the magazine. Instead, he decided to put all of the subscribers info out in the open. Very very uncool even though I do not like Macs.

I hope he got the cookie
