Note that Mr. Jackson is not the only person who had access to his
computer system.  Things *may* have been transpiring of which he had
(and still has) no knowledge.  

Also, as the system was hooked up as a bulletin board system,
depending on the software and the care with which it was administered,
it is possible that things crossed the system that no one at SJG knew
about but were nonetheless a problem (unlikely, but certainly within
the realm of possibility).
