Why was Password list not deleted by Moderator

I applaud GoDaddy for taking action, though I agree they could have waited at least an hour for a reply before yanking.

What was a list of **people's passwords** doing on a security forum, for crying out loud???

At least, a moderator should have removed it. Maybe some jerk complained to MySpace first instead of the forum Mods, which they should have done. It is unfortunate. But I am glad that GoDaddy took care of this risk to people's privacy and safety. I would be horrified if I found out someone got my account details after picking up my password on a security forum -- and terrified if it happened to my kids.

So, GoDaddy was a little trigger-happy, but otherwise did the right thing. I congradulate them and I am happy to be their customer!

That's my 2 cents.
