: Dear Attrition.org,
: 
: On your site:
: http://www.attrition.org/mirror/attrition/
: 
: You include a link to:
: www.ansme.com
: 
: as being hacked. 
: 
: Can you remove that link from that page, and any other page that has our
: link on it. We have restored the site for 4 months now, and we don't
: want others to know we were hacked. The real problem is, when people
: search for our site, your site comes up. We don't like that. Could you
: please remove the link and name? 

Hi,

As we have outlined on our page, we can not and will not do that.

Trying to hide the fact you were hacked is dishonest and essentially lying
to your customers. For that reason especially, we will not remove the site
from our archive.
