You're an ISP, You pay for a news feed, Would you want someone with a clue stealing your newsfeed and serving it to others for free or even worse for a fee? They are justified in scanning their own network whether you like it or not. It's kind of like complaining when I see someone scanning me for netbus or whatever -- after a while it gets old and doesn't really matter because that's what I have a firewall for. -- Carl Schmidt Just like the pied piper led rats through the streets We dance like marionettes swaying to the symphony of destruction http://slackerbsd.org/ [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use MessageID: fMOPU5oLlamsPyL8F4SNyT0hjZGgyrVw iQA/AwUBO7JeRywXrqm5p/cQEQImywCfaUX15qS3R4Ug/1dooimU1oQS9IIAoLJI YqeoFFvaql3nxyfolG93+dJK =RBPB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
