You know I have seen lots of comunications between companies like this although the languagee was much more professional on both parts.

this is the only time I have seen one party being so unprofessional and (sorry Snauz) Snauzish in grammer

I realize that he was obiously not a professional but if he was trying to get away with it he could have been a little more professional. Wow,  have never had to deal with anything like this but it is alway intresting to see.

or atleast cooperate when he caught. lol like that would happen.

Wow, he actually got a response.  That guy was one cocky or stupid SOB.
Mediocre people are always at their best.

I would figure him to be stupid.  A real good cracker would have never tried what he did after being caught.  They would have just faded into the background and started up someplace else.

Stupidity is an infection kind of  like Snauz, except with a far worse additude. And less common sence. and no humor.
