All I can say is... Becareful about random people IMing you trying to send you files... I am only bringing this up because he got my AIM screen name on Chief Delphi, and if he can get mine he can get anyone else's. He may or may not be related to the recent attacks on this forum.

Just thought I should bring it up...
