It seems like it takes some seriously stubborn stupidity to do so. <slightly sarcastic suggstion follows> I'm beginning to think that we should start charging like insurance companies do... the more dumb things you do on the network, like opening stuff like this and spreading viruses, the more we get to charge you. Of course we'd have to have someone maintain a central database of customers that have suffered "accidents" like this so they couldn't benefit from switching ISPs... too many offenses and you pay -a lot- for your internet access on a tightly firewalled ISP where you can only access stuff by proxy servers - I'm sure you all get the idea. There are of course a million different reasons this won't work, but it is a nice dream, eh? -- Jeff Shultz Loose nut behind the wheel.
