Michael, Them's scrappin words partner. :-| Maybe you could specifically tell us why it is such a bad idea instead of just slamming Perkel based on a few other slam Perkel posts to the list. Are you drunk or what? I went to your website http://www.secnap.com/aboutus.php?pg=8 and it says that you are Chairman of the Board, President, & CTO and tells how great and wonderful you have been for the last 25 years. Based upon your reply to the list... I think if you have half a clue, please make sure to purchase the other half to go with it. ;-) The general *idea* or *ideas* does/do have some basic promise in the fight against spam. Notice I said the *idea* or *ideas* and not any specific implementation(s)... I can think of several possible real world implementions... - rh
