Re: Forget the security industry!

Leythos,

Dear Leythos,

I am awed by your expertise. Expertise however needs
to be properly applied and channeled to provide the
benenfits it may be capable of rendering.

Let me continue and end our discussion with the following
remarks.

Since I get a bill from the Internet Service Provider I know
how much to pay and to whom.

I have never been informed by any ISP that I should pay
an additional amount to anybody else. If you or the ISP or
the security industry feel that they need even more money
and that they think that the federal government should pay
up, then they need to take necessary steps to collect from
the Feds.

May be you should become a lobbyist for a new Tax, an
Internet Security Tax, or IST. In the meantime I expect
the ISPs and the softwareproviders to protect me from the
punks. The software firms and the ISP should know their
business, so that their security measures actually work

It is not ethical and in the long run probably counterpro-
ductive to sell a dangerous vehicle and let each owner provide
for his safety. This is not permissible for any product, but
the Internet.

Your argument that each user should purchase additional
hard and software to protect his PC if faulty. Look at the
statistics at the Lavasoft site. There the claim is made that
9 out of 10 PCs are "infected". This is proof beyond any
doubt that the idea that the public can provide for its own
Internet safety is poppy *** .Since an infected computer
can infect uninfected ones, it is essential that the internet
vehicle be made safe by experts and it is clear that this job
cant be left to the individual owner.

Leythos,

It is elementary. I pay the internethighway tax. It is
called the monthly fee for ISP service. Think before
you write.

No, you're confused again, there is no "Internet Highway Tax", you are
paying for a provider to give you a connection, much like you pay for a
Driveway from your house to the street - once you are on the street your
taxes pay for the limited amount of safety that is provided on the
public roads.

Something else you forget, it's your legal responsibility to maintain
your vehicle in SAFE OPERATIONAL STATE. If you don't personally know how
to do that you pay others to do it for you - same with a computer.

Think before you play with the experts.
