Chiana's Pet was more than just another Scaper. He was a Scaper with a mission. Many times he lobbyied(sp) the Scifi.Com powers that be with emails about the antiquity of their servers and the denial of service attacks by hackers. Hackers have been nickenamed trolls by many because of their mischievous and bothersome nature. We can only imagine they are as ugly as they behave. Below is one of the last communications this brave Scaper made to the Uncaring powers that be at Scifi.com and their pitiful form letter reply. Chiana's Pet lives on in our memory and by his brave actions that have affected us all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "ChianasPet" To: "CL" ; "Dale" ; "Uber" ; "MoonKissed" ; "Judy E.
