i'd say that since EC2 won't be shut down when it's found out about, that you need a smiley. "widespread use" is too narrow a term. none of us expects white-hat e-commerce business to move into rented botnets, and rented botnets aren't all going to be in the same address space or ASN. -- Paul Vixie
