      - "HSX has taken precautions so that it would be difficult to retrieve the password and do harm to your account" ... - Beryllium Aug 24, 18:29

    - No, generally they just let them ride. Anyone paying attention should have been taking full advantage :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 24, 15:08 2
      - I know I sure did. -- nm - Qale Aug 24, 15:18
      - DRACE isn't off by much but ROCKR is significant... they should just readjust now to the proper price -- nm - secretslacker Aug 24, 15:10

      - Is it a good book? Is there a dame? And suspense? -- nm - ty97 Aug 24, 10:32 1
