    Hehe. Yeah, the classical good-guy/bad-guy (or is it good-person/bad-person these days *g*) dilemma. Well-meaning but ineffective security measures will hurt the good ones but not affect the bad ones.

    I'm in favour of REJECT, myself. I like to be polite, even if I have to be cautious. Just for the files.
