	Hello,
	
	I am looking for some redemption in the chat room world.  
	One particular person keeps banning me from a chat room and has
	threatened to mess with my system.  I have installed a Firewall 
	by Conseal.  My question to you is there something you can give 
	me to mess with them? Such as, knock them out of their room, take 
	their room over, knock them off line, and perhaps some heavier
	things?  If you can help, I would greatly appreciate it. 

	Thank You,

	Rob



	Hi, Rob.  By way of answer, let me tell you a story.

	Once upon a time there was a foolish little boy.  Everyone that
	little boy knew was going to a party, and the foolish little boy
	wanted to go too.  But he was rude, so the person who threw the
	party made him leave.  Well, the little boy was very angry, so he
	tried to get back in.  He couldn't.  He didn't have any skills at
	all that could get him into the party.  So the foolish little boy
	got even angrier, and he went out into the streets and started
	asking complete strangers to burn down the house where the party 
	was being held and shoot all the guests.  Of course, none of the 
	passers-by on the street would ever do such a thing -- in fact,
	most of them laughed long and loud at the foolish little boy.

	What happened to the foolish little boy?  Who knows.  Maybe one 
	day he got online and became an annoying little chat room hacker
	wanna-be.  

	Hope this helps!
