One would probably guess the URL of the site you were working on was in the screenshots. You don't need to "find" an IP address at that point. Furthermore, Jonathan stated that he didn't "break into" your system - you left phpMyAdmin *wide* open, which is frankly asking for trouble. Imagine how much fun you'd have had if someone with *malicious* intent had found it. And lastly ... if he was *really* going to do anything, would he really be so stupid as to leave his commonly-known pseudonym, which can be (as you proved) easily traced back to himself? I think this whole issue has been blown out of proportion enough on the list now, and as it's no longer a PHP-related discussion I suggest you move it to private mail. And, try some valium for loss of sleep. :) Jason -- Jason Murray jasonm@melbourneit.com.au Web Design Team, Melbourne IT Fetch the comfy chair!
