    Paul Robertson has articulated his ideas a bit more and set a tentative date (Jan. 15, 2004) for Personal Firewall Day in an OpEd piece he wrote to run in Information Security Magazine's Security Wire Daily mailing list. You can give it a read here;

    http://infosecuritymag.techtarget.com/ss/0,295812,sid6_iss246,00.html#news7

    Included in that piece is a link to a temporary site Paul's set up to, amongst other things, provide links to subscribing to the Personal Firewall Day mailing list where we're discussing just how to get this thing done;

    PFD mailing list
    PFD@bat.clueby4.org
    http://bat.clueby4.org/mailman/listinfo/pfd

    So, all of you who are interested, get subscribed, read the archive;

    http://bat.clueby4.org/pipermail/pfd/

    and pitch in your good ideas!!

    Cheers,
    Russ - NTBugtraq Editor
