Oh geez, here we go again... Search the archives and read until you're content. It's a non-thread. This horse isn't only dead, it's not even a grease spot on the road any more.

Are you saying that the problem of spreading worms and botnets is fading? Where do you get your data on this?

I mean, it's all well and good to express an opinion but if you want to be believed you have to be prepared to back it up with data from another source.

I'm not saying that at all and that'd be the silliest position to support anyway. We all know better than that. All I was saying is *every* position on the subject was expressed about two months ago in the thread that wouldn't die even in the clear evidence of an exponential decrease in quality of responses on the subject and I don't things have changed significantly since then. No biggie, I can delete when the quality of respones degrades below my threshold of ability to carry on reading... :-) scott
