	Suskie - September 26, 2008 (02:13 PM) The picture in this article reminded me very much of someone I knew in high school, and thus, this story triggered the wrong reaction from me. Wow, I just found out a lot about myself.

	jerec - September 26, 2008 (02:55 PM) Blink and you're dead, EmP.
	sashanan - September 26, 2008 (11:52 PM) Internet. Dangerous business. Or so it would seem.
