Yes Derek..not only do I think so, but I know so.  The folks
at Michtron have shut down many a pirate board and will
continue to do so from all indications.  Last year Gordon
Monnier (sp?) president of Michtron told me that they were
swamped with numbers/passwords to pirate boards when they first
announced a "bounty" on them.  Remember, Michtron is going after
the sysop of the board...not the individual user that is "good"
enough to turn it in.  It would appear that there is no honor
among thieves.
