I agree that we should discover and FIX holes found in the system. But at the same time, we don't want to have to shut the thing down until such a fix can be made. Misuse of the system get us all in a lot of trouble. The Arpanet has succeeded because of the self policing community. If this type of potential for disruption gets used by very many people, I guarentee that we all will not like the solution or fix proposed. dennis -------
