Ya know, if he can't figure it out himself why bother.. If you give this guy
any help you know he is going to bug the hell out of you for details.. Look
Dump-butts, putting a sniffer on a line is one of the most basic skill
sets.. Unless you figure there is some magic way to open your AOL dialup,
say a few all powerful words and there you go, in which case maybe I can
help for a small fee..
No guarantees..

Definitely, I agree with you. I think that information should be shares,
(part of the reason I support FSF, EFF and 2600). However, I wouldnt be
the one to give him this information. He should read a book if he wants
to know that badly... two reasons:
a: Its easy to get someone to tell you how to do something, but you learn
so much more if you figure it out on your own.
b: since it may be illegal, and is definitely frowned upon, while the info
should be shared, I would never give such info to someone who asked like
he did. He basically said, I want to intercept someones mail... how do I
do it?
So I already know that his intentions are not just for education or
exploration...
oh well..
my 3 cents (inflation adjusted)
cheers
