It's OK. They are welcome to hack all they want, but there's no payoff since we do not have ecommerce facilities. The Denial of Services attacks were more annoying, since it caused the site to slow down for all the users, but after this weekend, it will be a lot harder to slow us down. However, this major investment in security has added considerable cost to running the site on a per month basis. I guess it's the wave of the future. The academics who made this utopian internet for the free exchange of information must be very disappointed. In the future, free won't be possible, especially for any site that has more than just static pages. Security costs a lot of money. Teresa
