    The Aussie arraigned by the FBI yesterday for attempting to sell "Top
    Secret" U.S. intelligence documents had an active life on the
    internet.

    Jean-Philippe Wispelaere, 28 has postings to a variety of travel
    themed internet web pages dispensing advice on traveling to a variety
    of countries including Iran and the Central African republic. Most of
    these posts pre-date his short service with the Australian Defense
    Intelligence Organization, but one post to the "Lonely Planet" from
    November 1998 contains information he alleges comes from the French
    foreign ministry.

    If you want to see what kind of guy betrays his country, you can check
    his posting history at Dejanews. His interest in a variety of subjects
    from sex techniques to military aviation can be retrieved from his
    posts at...

    in the "author" box. Its pretty humorous but it should also be a
    reminder of what happens to your posts to usenet.

    an entry which reads, "Information"; for in most cases
    the information is more valuable than the hardware which
    processes it. -- Adm. Grace Murray Hopper, USN Ret.

    Dear Mr. Knowles,

    Thanks for forwarding my post "Australian Spy On-Line" to JYA.com. I read
    and enjoy that site every day myself and I do not have a problem sharing my
    information with the readers of that site.

    However, since you appreciated my post to the Cloaks and Daggers listserv, I
    would have hoped that you would have either asked my permission to repost
    it, or would have at least credited me for my discovery. Despite the fact
    you changed it very little, I am sure you didn't attempt to commit
    plagiarism.
