            I also have to point out that, at least around here, the cops
    are mainly there to sweep up the crime scene and try to find the (long
    gone) perps. The fact of the matter is that in the cyber world, as
    well as in the real world, the best defense is self defense. Having
    good locks on your doors that make it hard for the casual rattler to
    get in is infinitely better than more government.
            Don't be a Sheeple and expect someone else to pull your
    chestnuts out of the fire.
            Regards
