Very true. Just wanted to let Ron know that he can bring the site back up
while he finds the vulnerability. Ron if you like, I can run a scan on the
site and see if I can find it. (I'm a systems admin, so actually have some
experience in this area), although I make it a habit to ask permission first
;-)...

Thanks,
