If you read it through andunderstand it you will see he meant to snoop
always someone one or two levels below you, then, *when snooping*, change
that users level to implementor, since you are snooping him already no
errors would get back to you, then the new implementor set the old
implementor level down and then snoops back (could this work with just
two?).
It involved a lot of snooping and level setting... and obviously is not a
bug or anything, it has to be done on purpose, it would probably be
something done out of sheer boredom..:) Like putting your face between two
parallel mirrors... or when a tv program has a tv set tuned to that same
program..:)
