Since one person on the list responded to me personally having suggested I regulate my meds, in order to make coherent sentences. 

As Ceasar stated to Brutus: "What! art thou, too, one of them?"

BOOK:
The Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage - a good primer/reader on those who might specialize in telecommunications security.

Cliff Stoll was an astronomer turned systems manager at Lawrence Berkeley Lab when a 75-cent accounting error alerted him to the presence of an unauthorized user on his system. The hacker's code name was "Hunter" -- a mystery invader hiding inside a twisting electronic labyrinth, breaking into U.S. computer systems and stealing sensitive military and security information. Stoll began a one-man hunt of his own, spying on the spy -- and plunged into an incredible international probe that finally gained the attention of top U.S. counterintelligence agents. The Cuckoo's Egg is his wild and suspenseful true story -- a year of deception, broken codes, satellites, missile bases, and the ultimate sting operation -- and how one ingenious American trapped a spy ring paid in cash and cocaine, and reporting to the KGB.
