Setting the record straight

Awhile back there was a thread about organic substrates causing respiratory infections in terrapenes that blew way out of proportion. I am a veterinary pathologist named Joe Gilroy, DVM who has worked with eyespy since 1985. When she became wheelchair-bound and forced to work out of her home in June 2000 she applied for federal research grants that funded some of my studies. She has been hiring me to identify pathogens on many different studies over the years.

Eight people from this website hacked into our database and destroyed over 6 years of research. The Internet Fraud Complaint Center is prosecuting the five American citizens but they told me yesterday that they have no power to go after the 3 Canadians responsible.

I processed over 3,000 pathology slides during the course of this research project and found fungal alveolitis to be very common amongst captive terrapenes and quite rare amongst wild specimens. Unfurtunately since these hackers destroyed many digital slide images and our database we no longer have the data needed to publish our study. We had received nasopharyngeal swabbings and biopsy slides from a large pool of vets and wildlife scientists on 4 continents.

Congratulations, ssnakess.com, for destroying a very important study on fungal alveolitis and interstitial pneumonia.

I'm going to have to ask you to edit your post and reword that last sentence.. As we BOTH know, as well as the members of this site know, that ssnakess.com had and has nothing to with destroying any of your studies...

*this was posted here since you have decided you dont want people to email or pm you*..
