Go read the absolute SHIT that the "chinese hackers" are posting on sites every day that we mirror without question. The insults they lay on Americans without disclaimer. Talk about stereotyping. FACT is, compare that defacement with EVERY OTHER "chinese" defacement in the last three weeks (over 250), you will see it is QUITE different than the rest. Our observation was perfectly valid and made based on seeing several defacements allegedly from 'chinese hackers'. I hope you mail all those morons posting stereotypical crap since you mailed us. In fact, if I don't get cc'd on a doze or so such flames, I can easily discount you as a whiner that is just begging to find something wrong so you can whine and make yourself feel better.
