Yes, so...in the days that followed, I talked with several people that helped me to see some holes that I had created in my security fence. I think that over time, I just became very complacent with my crypto-security. (something that has been rectified!)

If you want to see how I think it happened - I go into more detail in the post RIGHT before this one. It's called "'don't worry - your wallet is too small to hack" or something like that

You can find it right on my blog - and really - you should read it, because you might be doing some of the things that I did too!!! and if I never get my money back, and I never catch the evil person(or people) who did this.... if i ONLY give advice to others on how it can easily happen to them and to fortify their fences??? then its worth it.

so please do read @charcoalbuffet
and if you have ANY questions about things that I did wrong - where I'm not clear - please do ask!!! I'm an open book and I will for sure let you know where I made FOOLISH mistakes that could have prevented it all!
