    Sigh...whatever happened to "personal responsibility"? This is like the
    migger saying, "Now don't make me shoot you!"  The watchword in society
    today seems to be to hold victims responsible for the ethical
    primitiveness of their assailants...but I guess this isn't net.morals..

    PS-- Just a note...the papers out here reported last week that the
    19-year old who broke into (among others) my company's computers using
    his C-64 is going to spend 90 days in the slammer undergoing "psychiatric
    evaluation."  Finally, a victory for common sense!
