[Ravensfort] PLEASE READ! Do not delete this letter...

[Paul Gilbert]

Greetings,

I echo Sir Keifs words of condemnation for the cowards that would use the
tactics of children and snakes.

In todays world of electronic communications it is quite easy to trace or
backward engineer the source of such activities as a phone call.

For instance.....

Most of the wireline providers (phone companies) such as Bell, Verizon,
Sprint, both big and little, use one of three brands of phone switching
equipment made by Lucent, Nortel or Ericisson. All of these keep a record
of each and every phone call thru that switch no matter of the options such
as caller ID and such. It would take a formal request to the phone company
and perhaps involvement of the police, but the source of the call can be
found with little trouble.

So, the source of such activities can be obtained if they continue.

Good advice to follow here is .......If you have a problem with your
brother, go talk to your brother.

We are here to listen.

Niklas & Kezia
