That is some serious ish man! Thank You for the find. Now I guess we have to see how long we the people will continue to be exposed to so many web secrets. I guess this is why they are seeking to stifle what can and cannot be viewed. I for one love to find out about ALL kinds of knowledge and feel we should be unrestricted. What say you the people?
