These kinds of people don't surprise me, but it disgusts me anyway. From the Register. . .

Hurricane Katrina is bringing out the worst in people on the net as well as on the streets of New Orleans. Spam emails purporting to offer links to news about Katrina are been used to tempt potential victims onto a site hosting Trojan malware.

Hey IronMan...Yea, they should be hung in the village square along with the price gougers and looters(with the exception of those getting food,water,needed medical suuplies, bedding, etc.) and anyone else taking advantage of this situation.

Being a resident of Louisiana, this angers me, I can assure you, I am a Computer A+
Tech as well as Automobile insurance agent, my post:

Does not contain sinister links, they are the actual newspaper links of the famous Times Picayune States Item Newspaper delivered in our own City of New Orleans and surrounding Metro areas which is now being printed in Baton Rouge for the time being.

***ANYONE WHO DOES THIS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF OUR SITUATION SHOULD BE HELD IN MARSHALL LAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I posted these as many like myself have been without power for 6 days and only saw portions of news with generators provided a short time for that purpose.

Thanks for protecting our New Orleans Culture!!!!!
