I agree, and am willing to investigate hacking cases and expel players
who use these tactics.

One G2 player was expelled from the game a few months ago for attempting
a brute-force attack on a password for another player's web turn report
here at pbm.com.

If you can obtain the original "lost password" message which was
sent to GeoCities, perhaps it may contain some useful information
(ip address, etc.) which might help to identify the would-be cheater.
