I hate to be the ogre that would impune the
honor of diabetic children, but can anyone
validate this? The text doesn't sound like
a child, it sounds like an Asian spam-list
troll. The site looks like it was put together
in about 3 hours, and has no pictures of any
children or any facility (foundations
love having a picture of their site on
the front page).

Suppose it is real - as Dennis notes, there
is no way AT&T would shut them down for
wanting to use a password. AT&T isn't stupid,
they know that shutting down 900 diabetic
kids wouldn't play in the media without
a damned good cause.

What USian calls the position "web master"?

Heck, forget spam lists - I wonder if anyone
sent an FTP username/password before even
talking to Karl.

Sorry if I'm being overly cynical.
