Then perhaps you'd like to correct your site. In your source code, you write:
<!-- Web Site desing by Lorenzo Hernandez Garcia-Hierro--><!-- Encrypted using S
ecurity Application Server of No Secure Root Group Security Research -->

It would appear that Paul was only quoting your term ("encryption" was enclosed
in quotation marks within his mail) rather than indicating that he really
considered it to be encryption.

FWIW, it's completely useless to encode your content in this way. Try an
even simpler exercise:
[my version of the "exploit", if you will]
1. Visit your site in a browser (I used Mozilla 1.5)
2. Choose "Select All" from the "Edit" menu.
3. Right-click and choose "View Selection Source".
