"Well M'am... It looks like your new stove is all set. Just one more check. [click] [click] <BOOM!> OOPS... Sorry bout that. We forgot to set the 'no LP directed-explosion' command on your stove. We'll get that fixed right up." Sorry... I couldn't resist. I do understand where you may draw that conclusion however. Testing for the presence of gas (smurf amplifiers) with a sniffer (single ICMP echo-request scan) is NOT the same as simply throwing a match at the gas main (waiting for an attack). So, the simple answer to your question is no. --- John Fraizer EnterZone, Inc
