I ended up doing an entry on our blog about it and basically came to the
same conclusion...

People every day don't do risky things in society such as walking up a
dark alley in the middle of the night, yet they turn around and do the
internet equivalent, all the while a policeman on the side is suggesting
I wouldn't go up there if I were you.

Until enough people get the internet equivalent of being mugged, I don't
think things will change either.
