I got an e-mail from a Karen Swain KarenKaren07@hotmail.com which simply said "Thanks for the VD." Well, I assumed that she was one of the MySpace-Cadet Bandwidth suckers who'd been stealing my bandwidth. So I checked to see who'd recently taken the "smartbomb" banner down and came across two.

One was our buddy "Terry" (you might remember him from yesterday's post). Terry decided to stop stealing my bandwidth and no longer has a social disease. Good for you, Terry.

I also found that someone who calls herself Sonia Pneumonia had wised up and taken the banner down. Could Sonia Pneumonia possibly be Karen Swain?

I noticed that Sonia Pneumonia listed herself as living in Santa Cruz, California. So I did a Google Search for Karen Swain and Santa Cruz. One of the things I came across was an East Bay Municipal Utility District Directory in PDF form, which does have a listing for a Karen Swain ... with phone numbers and everything. I think there's a good chance that we've got a positive ID on this culprit. ;)

So, Sonia Pneumonia, all I can say is that you never know what you might end up with when you suck on a stranger's bandwidth. I hope you learned your lesson.

The war continues....
