yep, and the danger is you agree with the article and some politicians or
journalists think you are advocating a full police service which would be bad.
i do think we have an obligation to try to keep the net clean to a certain

unrealistic. there seems to be some moves to offering partial security and this
is probably a good thing eg blocking common ms ports will likely be effective.
