Chester, the individual who actually makes the architecture of this site work, is worth many times what I can afford to pay him. The OCF site was hacked by someone last night and they deleted the entire membership lists from the message boards, all the names, email addresses etc. It would appear that even an entity as benign and positive as the OCF web site is not immune to what is no less than criminal activity. Chester rebuilt the boards information from data at our master server in Canada, and pulled everything back together after I woke him up in the very early morning hours. He did all this at the crack of dawn, no bitching about the time of the morning, only the comment " that he knew how important the mutual support each of you shares is, and he was happy to do his part, to get it running and restored". Money doesn't buy this kind of effort; it comes naturally from someone who really cares.
