[tor-relays] I'm Running A Tor Exit But Never Initiated It

[Percy Blakeney]

I have.  Late September 2015 I took my desktop to one repair shop (NEVER
GEEK SQUAD) and took my laptop and flashdrive with Linux on it to a
different repair shop.  I was asked by both repairmen if someone had a
vendetta against me because they had never seen anything like it.  Both
HDDs were partitioned. I had to have brand new HDD replacement on both
computers.  As for the flashdrive the repairman told me he saw nothing out
of the ordinary.  I don't want to do anything to them now because I need
someone who knows what they're looking at to see things for themselves.
