	honestly

Gah. All this top posting and immaturity makes it difficult to reply, 
and normally I'd be prone to ignore this, but I'm hoping that someone 
else will be able to learn from the errors made here. Jay is not 
employable, for multiple reasons. He's already gone out of his way to 
publicly humiliate himself. Lists like Full Disclosure are archived in 
so many places that, long after he's matured (it is to be hoped that 
he'll mature), his boorish behavior will be there to haunt him.

Some of the suggestions here have been made with the best of intentions, 
and the attempts at kindness and assistance are really heart warming. I 
would suggest that the LAPD is no where near the OC, and that they are 
not going to let anyone near a computer to do forensics (honestly, there 
are professionals, with professional tools available only to law 
enforcement, for that).

No, the best that can be learned here is to always keep it professional. 
Always. Profanity, childish temper tantrums, threats, chest-thumping 
about who is more elite than whom, all of these get stored in multiple 
archives, just waiting to spring back to life 5, 10, or 20 years from 
now. Trust me, I have Usenet postings that are out there (or were; thank 
you google, for letting me remove them) that are nearly 20 years old.

Please, folk, don't think that an alias hides you, and that you can run 
into the crowd and throw feces at us as though you were a caged monkey. 
Stop and think about what you say. For that matter, learn to use a spell 
checker. At least attempt to look professional. It might get to be a habit.
