Todd Actually in many ways I was hopping that the user agreement I had shoved at me recently had some teeth. One of the things that is says you can get your service suspended for is having a box that is "infected and or attempting to infect whether manually or on it's on other boxes on the network" (paraphrased but the idea is the same as the legalise. The warning is place here because it is such a large number of boxes that were hitting mine it wasn't funny and once I block one box... another takes over. It's moved now from 12.234 to 12.253... *sigh* Can't block 12... I'm on that subnet....!!
