I'd venture to guess that most of the people on this list also agree with you. However, unless there's something I don't know about you guys, there are no lawyers or judges amongst the readers of NANOG. The problem is, although judges are usually pretty good at making the right decision, there's no guarantee that if this issue went to trial, MAPS would win. And in the highly litigious environment in which we live, it's a good idea to make sure you have all the legal bases covered. -- North Shore Technologies, Cleveland, OH http://NorthShoreTechnologies.net Steve Sobol, BOFH - President, Chief Website Architect and Janitor Pictures of two of my 'children': http://www.WrinkleDogs.com About Spamfighters: "We're not net nazis.
