Thanks for that interesting article Greg. Some questions come to me as I ponder the situation. The saying goes: First they ignore you Then they laugh at you Finally they attack you So it's come to that now has it. My questions are not just about getting busy with tightening security. But what are the motivating factors? Is it greed, organized crime, or an attack on the internet in regards to negating the world wide ability to co-operate electronically. Part of this is controlling our behavior. I have friends (former?) who I have had to say cease and desist with the chain letters, etc no matter how good you think the cause. So my question is is who would want to be suppressing freely shared information, and what/how would they gain?
