[wp-forums] I moderated Steve/WarAxe's post

[Vicki Frei]

Ah.... well, Petit, the thread I moderated wasn't about security so much.... the

The security thread is the one in which marke1 posts a bunch of wild surmises, 
THEN has the BALLS to make remarks about how the script kiddies now have this

Two different things entirely....
