   Yawn. Old hat. I thought of it 15 years ago, and it wasn't new then, either.   
   (I was "security officer" for my division; would regularly "hack" into the   
   accounts of other people in my div and email them their passwords, along with   
   instructions to change it "or else".)   
      
   Anyway, doing this sort of thing won't make you any friends, and may very   
   well be illegal, depending on where you are, where the victim is, where the   
   email server is, the phase of the moon, etc. Don't do it.

   Lighten up, willya? I'll tell ya what, if I have any desires to murder   
   you in the middle of the night, you'll be the first to know, okay?
