We now return you to your regularly scheduled network operations discussion and flamewars.Reminds me of an old joke when I was in college. I used to have this in my .signature: Free UNIX accounts. Telnet to 127.0.0.1. Use your existing user ID and password to login. I got a lot of mail from concerned-but-clueless people warning me that this may be a criminal trying to harvest passwords. Of course, the joke is far less effective today, when most people on the internet are not using UNIX systems.
There was a pretty impressive warez network running on that IP address for a while, too. The slogan was "everything we have is yours." -- J.D. Falk "Whom can you ask <jdfalk () cybernothing org> what you came to make happen in this world?" -- Rob Brezny, adapted from Pablo Naruda
