		<description>If I may make a suggestion, how about moving the &quot;Log in&quot; links to the top of the page?  Most of the time, I don&#039;t log in simply because (on a busy day) I don&#039;t feel like scrolling up and down looking for that little box...how about a login link on the masthead with &quot;Home,&quot; &quot;Register,&quot; and the rest?</description>

		<description>@ThomasB. &amp; Hard Right:

It wouldn&#039;t surprise me to be honest. My previous job was working with network/server security applications and it would not surprise me one bit if some left leaning tech-criminal(sorry, but I refuse the often mis-used term &#039;hacker&#039;) may have done his home work and done just that.

Unless companies are looking for &quot;recon&quot; hits they may not even see it. It just depends on the talent of the person involved.

I once had a co-worker of a room-mate of mine who was behind a denial of service(DoS) attack against our home broadband (it was still new at the time). I was successful in getting some accounts closed and he and I had a man-to-geek talk. I explained what the next DoS attack would be and he got the picture. The final ones stopped.



Curt, 
hopefully your hosting company keeps good logs. Depending on what access you have and the type of account, you may be able to review the logs yourself to identify the responsible IP addresses. If this was the case, they could go after the people responsible.

If the same IP addresses are responsible for other right leaning sites, then perhaps something more can be done.

Just a thought.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m so happy you guys (persons?!) are back!  Always look forward to the Sunday cartoons.  They are so funny and creative - Had given up even looking at cartoons in the newspaper about 20 years ago because they were so boring.  Thank you so much Flopping Aces for all the great work you do.  

P.S.  Do you guys ever sleep?</description>

		<description>So glad you are up and running. We discovered ours wasn&#039;t a hack but an overloaded server. May I suggest that our sites are experiencing heavy traffic of late and it&#039;s going to get heavier.</description>

		<description>I was worried when I couldn&#039;t find you this weekend...looking for refuge from the chest pounding and hysteria over at NQ over Jackson.  Unbelievable spin over this turkey.
