I was going to request access on systems@ to the mailing list server (to what degree of success, I don't know ;-P) so that I could help not just with this, but with the dozens of "I can't unsubscribe, I hate you all, screw you, PHP!!1!" kind of emails I get personally every month. This "Brandon" character, though, has also been deliberately giving bad code out to individuals who are too green and novice to know the difference. By "bad" I don't just mean "messy," but rather, "malicious." There's little we can do to wipe the existing stuff off the Internet, but maybe we could at least ban him and minimize the damage. -- </Daniel P.
