3.) Internext was only in August during the time that Acacia was building up steam. Could they have rented one of AVN's scanners to get our information under the guise of another company? (This is not unheard of)

1.) a. Who has access to the database? Surely not everyone at the company. I think it would only be upper-management?
b. Would Acaca purchase an obviously stolen database from an employee that contacted Acaca on the sidelines? I don't think so.
2.) a. I think a list was stolen by hackers, there would have been more people complaining about "so-and-so" spam, or "so-and-so" sold my info to spammers before now. Unless the they hacked the list solely for sale to Acaca, but I don't think so.

3.) Didn't Acaca have their own booth? I don't think they would have disguised themselves as another company. But if so, it should be easy to go through a list of the people that rented scanners and find out who it was.
4.) In my opinion, there are too many people with the same story.
5.) I believe there is a blacklist in order. At least the smaller webmasters will blacklist the companies that signed, because some of us believe in being united. I think we will see a lot of those companies being rejected on a lot of TGPs.
