Subject:   The Dilbert Hack Page is Gone

After I send this letter, I will be removing the page which led to our dispute. When you have a chance, I would invite you to visit the page I've written to replace it. I've archived our correspondence and other materials I believe will be a useful reference for future lawyers and computer security researchers. I believe that this archive will also act as a deterrent to others who may wish to create similar pages.

I am including two items for which I would like your explicit permission to place on my Web page:

• If you click to the "Technical Details" section, you will see a screen-dump of a Netscape window, reduced small enough that the text is illegible and the images are only barely discernable.

• From the same page, I wish to preserve the Dilbert Hack Page for August 4, 1996. This will *not* update. In two weeks, all the images will expire from United Media's server, leaving a page whose purpose is to document the exact nature of our disagreement.

I believe this settles our dispute. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Thank you for your time,
