What was stated was that the automated attempts died. Not that they were killed. It wasn't explictly stated whether they died from some sort of sytem limitation or an intentional kill by the sys admin. Stop jumping to conclusions. Ask if you really want to know if they were intentionally killed or if it was a system-resource limitation which caused them to die. (Hell, maybe the ethernet was flaky and THAT's why it died!). ----------------------------------|++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ | "He divines remedies against injuries; | "Words are drugs." | | he knows how to turn serious accidents | -Antero Alli | | to his own advantage; whatever does not | | | kill him makes him stronger." | "Culture is for bacteria." | | - Friedrich Nietzsche | - Christopher Hyatt | -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
