Nothing personal to anyone...but if you've got time to
report every little port scan that you get (call it
what you will...scan, probe, whatever...) then you've
got a LOT of time on your hands!

After reading this list, and others on SF...I still
fail to see why so many folks are reporting port
scans, expecting the folks at ISPs to "do something"
about them.  First off...port scans, in and of
themselves, are nothing more than a minor annoyance at
best (insert appropriate analogy here).  If a scan
reaches a level that it's consuming an inordinate
amount of bandwidth, then it ceases to be a scan and
becomes a DoS attack.
