Satoshi,

As much as I want to believ= e this is you it's very difficult to ignore the fact that Vistomail cou= ld have been hacked and I'm currently speaking to a troll.
Ca= n you copy and paste what you wrote above, to http://p2pfoundation.ning.com as well, l= ike how you did during the Dorian fiasco?

Much appreciated.
