-- The very idea of separating private machines from others leaves us open to the question of "Why should my corporation, blah-blah, have to pay for individuals using the net?" The answer will be distasteful... This discussion can only lead to 'bad stuff'. There is no reason to distinguish private users from any others. -- Jeffrey Greenberg - {cmcl2,allegra}!phri!dolphy!jmg NSA terrorist CIA cryptography DES drugs NRO cipher IRS secret RSA decode coke libyan crack pot LSD russian nuclear missile atom assassinate

I suspect at least a few of the "individuals" with private machines on the net will be those who have work accounts. If I ever get a system on the net you can be sure that most of my participation will be from that system, rather than here at work. >This discussion can only lead to 'bad stuff'.
