Okay so I definitely freaked the other day when I thought I was getting spammed... I work for a company in the social networking space and I guess I'm a little too close to the fire on these topics.  In any case, it appears that the person really does exist and is responding to my emails.  So to sean, I apologize if I came off a little harsh at first and welcome you to the community of surfers.  I hope you don't take my protection for this community personally and I hope that some day soon you get surf stoked... It'll change your life bro! 

However, while he does not appear to be who I thought he was, that does not mean they won't be here... stay aware... the time WILL come for us all the heed this call to action and if we're all aware of it now, we'll stop it before it starts... you have the power!

And mahalo to sean...
