thank you about 5 months ago some guy over there started whining (sorry, best word for it) about "Where is this thread going?" and about the concentration of computer security issues having "taken away from the old spirit of the thread". [interestingly, this particular individual didn't seem to mind the proliferation of computer protection posts when he was infected with the msblaster worm and had no idea what to do or how to do it.] regardless of what this fellow thinks, the spirit of that thread has always been about helping... so i took his words to be, shall we say, misguided. i spent more hours on that thread than i can ever count, trying to help people out of jams and trying to keep people from getting into them in the first place. but the thread head concurred with mr.where-is-this-thread-going by saying "we do seem to be beating it to death", so i'm comfortable letting others sort out the security issues, questions and problems.
