Yes of course you should care, but it should not be a high a priority as say a down situation. > * I have an infected machine that pounds out attacks and exploits > at high speeds, hurting thousands of systems hourly.

We aren't arguing over boundries, all I'm trying to say is that without customers the internet shuts down.
