If you leave your faucets running, the water company will send you a bill. If you leave your computer infected, ??? If you lose your credit card and someone runs up thousands of dollars in charges, the credit card company sends you a bill... But you can at most be held responsible for $50. Does that really mean anything with respect to Mr. Donelan's quoted article? Not really. But neither do electric and water bills. I have some sympathy for the malware victim. But I don't expect the ISP to eat all of the costs. The article is more balanced than the selected quotes portray. -- Crist J. Clark [email protected] Globalstar Communications (408) 933-4387
