Appreciated - it's helpful to have this put plainly and publicly. Am I right that the target server belongs to the guy who: 1) Was interviewed in a previous blog write-up about the IP & username database and geolocation tool that he sought to show was built up for Emerald Point visitors, Insilico visitors, and people creating accounts via the Modular Systems website? 2) Demonstrated that Emerald wasn't removing usernames from paths before embedding them in textures even after the team's first attempted fix? I know we already talked to the team and set some conditions after the first one. The second one's been explained as a mistake that Modular Systems would be willing to publicly acknowledge and correct - the potential for collecting usernames would have to be in the viewer's privacy policy otherwise, and it isn't to date. But that one of these incidents was history and the second was supposed to be a mistake made the hidden request activity all the more confusing. -- Brian McGroarty | Linden Lab Sent from my Newton MP2100 via acoustic coupler _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
