One interesting thing I note from this, (which finally brings this thread into
the realm of a.f.c) is the differing attitudes of various people to the 
internet and the various things that can be done to/on it.  Especially
the attitudes which some display of:" Don't BUG us "
and others  of "OK, we won't mind what you do as long as it isn't actually
antisocial/destructive"

Just remarking in general ... feel free to flame me.
