Sorry to learn that the disruption has cost you and your helpers so much time. What a shame that some people get a kick from damaging the good hard work of others. It is even further a shame if it is related to the situation in Iraq (as suggested) as those who contribute here generally show much respect for other cultures and views.
Bubbette, to be fair I think these sad pillocks target the most popular websites which of course PPRuNe is (see the stats thread of a few months ago).
