I think all of us when we first used an on-line service thought that the ISP had a lot more resources than they really do. The first time I noticed people port scanning my system (or attempting to) I reported them to the ISP and got a canned answer for my trouble. I no longer bother reporting the myriad of scam artists (think Nigerian) that send email to the email off my web site because I'm pretty sure no one will try to go after them. <rant>In a way a lot of this nastiness persists because no one is willing to spend the time and money to go after the perpetrators. So we continue to put up with spam when what should happen is the people who hire the spammers should pay a price for their actions. The scammers should be tracked down one by one and made to face the courts.</rant> And now, back to our regular programming... ;^) -Alex _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
