: Hello there,

Greetings;

: As Im looking for potential customers I did a search on Google.com for
: "whitehat dan kaminsky" keyword. Your site, attrition.org is well
: designed and have good resources related to the niche and keyword

As it should! I took this box by storm back in double-aught six, when I
found a neat vulnerability in their Gopher system (surprisingly, their
TFTP service was locked down tight). Since then, I have based all of my
research into Sciuridae from here, as attrition.org has a great viewpoint
for such research (their unique network placement allows for superior
sciuridae monitoring).

: whitehat dan kaminsky . Would you considering doing a link exchange with
: us? A link exchange between our site will benefit both of us as will
: increase our Search Engine positions.

I don't know, that is asking a lot. Between the age of this domain, and
the fabulous popularity of my brain, combined with the meth-induced 23
hour days I work to protect the Internet... not sure I really need help. I
think this is a case of me helping you more than you helping me, right?

Further, I think I should clarify that I am not fond of white hats. They
are particularly bland and simply do not go with my natural pigment. Could
we discuss targeting searches for "celadon dan kaminsky"? I think that
color (#ACE1AF) is really striking and offsets my eyes, which I dare you
to gaze into. Not to brag, but I have been told they melt souls like a
basket of sleeping kittens on a fresh spring day. Just sayin'.

: TopGold Forum is quickly becoming the internet's premier online finances
: destination. We have reached over 3500 members and over38500 posts in
: less than 11 short months, and are viewed by over 6,000 unique visitors

I remember those times fondly. When I took over this system, I checked
their old web logs and found it quaint that even this box used to have
more unique visitors, some 100,000 in double-aught one. These days, they
are only limping along at just above 3,000 unique. But, given that the
regular admins can usually be found in a fried chicken stupor at the local
dive bar (or city jail), even that number is moderately impressive! These
clowns don't even update the site every day!!

: I've already placed your link on my site here:
: http://topgoldforum.com/partners/attrition.org . Please let me know if
: you agree otherwise I apologise for this and I will remove it.

I will watch the logs for the next few days and see what kind of traffic
you generate for us. If there is a decent clickthrough, I will consider
adding your link somewhere on the site that I feel is apropos of your
business and our interests.

Sincerely,
