Just realised, it is easy to retrieve visitors' info and their contact list and send them over the net without the visitor's knowledge or permission!

Can someone tell us how to do that ?
I have some people screaming M$ is the best,
and they scream MSN is the best, so i like to
show them what M$ *really* means...

Heheheh....
