Time stamps and IP addresses were of course in the headers. We forwarded this information to the appropriate authorities. Our work ended there. We provided no names, no addresses. We did not attempt to contact any potential suspects. The PA State Police conducted their own investigation from that point on. They got the proper evidence and warrants, they traced the USENET post headers to the suspect mentioned in the news article, they arrested and charged the suspect. >| Geez.

The PA State Police released their suspect's name to the public. The Morning Call Newspaper published the suspect's name and personal information. The suspect ADMITTED that he was guilty of the charges against him and he also confirmed that he knew he had violated laws. All of this information is in the news article. http://www.mcall.com/cgi-bin/slwebsto.cgi?DBLIST=mc98&DOCNUM=38016 If you desire to make inane and unfounded references or comparisons to Nazi Germany, the Holocaust, or the Ku Klux Klan, then at least take the time to read the facts, comprehend the facts, and direct your slanderous comments to the appropriate people/organisations. EHAP did nothing more than supply LE with publically accessible newsgroup headers associated with prepubescent child pornography postings. We leave all matters involving the law, justice, and punishment to law enforcement agencies and the criminal justice system. We are NOT vigilantes. We do NOT make any attempts to circumvent or violate ANY laws or constitutional rights. The only "crimes" we are guilty of are: 1) having compassion for human beings and respect for human life, INCLUDING the freedoms and privacies that ALL children deserve. 2) volunteering to assist LE with the collection of evidence related SOLELY to felony sex crimes perpetrated against innocent children. NO, Liam. We will NOT apologize for giving a damn about the human race, about freedom, about individual privacy, about the rights of innocent children, or about an Internet overrun with child pornography purveyors. If I could apologize for your ignorance though, Liam, I would, but only you have the right to speak for yourself.
