Mr Fawkes' objectives were political in nature - and he was a lot more willing to hurt people for his beliefs than I am. :) There's also a fundamental mindset difference between the folks who try to set off barrels of gunpowder (broad, indiscriminate targetting) and the folks who collect and shoot long-range rifles (single point, highly discriminate targetting) I suspect if Guy Fawkes had chosen his tools better, he'd have been more successful. A 660-grain power of veto is something you can't help paying attention to. mjr. _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
