Heh, I remember Payne used to post in the alt.seduction.fast newsgroup back around four to five years ago. So is Payne mainly the technical side of persiankitty.com? I know he is listed as the technical contact on PK's whois.
I also remember reading some stuff about Lewis Payne being connected to Kevin Mitnick? Try putting both their names in google and you'll find plenty on that subject... but is that the same "Lew Payne"?
