Michael: Keep going, you're on a roll. I continue to hope you will document your ideas on a Wiki page where they can easily be read in an organized manner but there's nothing wrong with carrying on a discussion here. A Chinese proverb comes to mind here, "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." My grandmother had another proverb that seems appropriate, "the proof of the pudding is in the eating." Patrick Henry Winston (professor of AI at MIT) would later say roughly the same thing when---I'm paraphrasing here---he would tell students their best ideas weren't any good until they had been implemented. Regards, Kent PS - "lusty"? If you mean the German "lustig" I would translate it in this context as "amusing" or perhaps "entertaining". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
