Re: [sysreq #15748] W3C Validator used for fraud, suggest a warning banner

Thanks for your message, summarised (not copied in full) below. I hope something comes of it; I am sure that the Validator page has inadvertently helped a lot of theft. I'm happy to provide any more information that might help, but I think what I've already said should be enough.

Best wishes.
