Sorry to all whom I offended with my post, especially the OP. I meant no harm to anyone.

I wasn't offended, and I didn't mean to get nasty. I just wondered what harm you can find in a first-hand report by a forum member of information that was and is available to anyone with eyes to see, and who is interested in such things. It isn't like he is giving out information that is top secret, hush-hush security stuff. Heck, some of the information Cyrano shared was from a newspaper article.
My assumption, and it was evidently wrong, was that you were sort of accusing Cyrano of fanning the flames of hysteria, so to speak, rather than a concern about security issues. Sorry about that.
You and I have both been here long enough to know that "nasty" posters usually don't hang around too long before they are given the boot.
