This might be true, yes. They might not care and try every trick in 
their toolkit.

One of my 'problems' with this approach lies with the "move on to 
another system". So now they're hitting on *my* systems... ;-)

Someone, somewhere has to deal with these creatures and get them 
caught/slapped in the face/buttkicked. I report whenever I can, which is 
all I can do, I guess.

Plus (back to the original topic), if we both upgrade regularly, whose 
box is more secure? Yours or mine? :-)

Bye... Nico
