Think that's bad, another @Home user tried to portscan a machine for about
13 days before giving up. We're guessing he was running nmap in another
console and forgot about it.

Greetings,

      If there are any *living breathing* @home abuse admins on this
list, would one of you please contact me regarding one of your lusers?

      The customer at 24.15.162.239 has been attempting to penetrate our
perimeter net for almost 4 hours straight now, and it's getting really
*OLD*...  (Yes,  they have been cut off at the routers, but I still have
to sift through 4 hours of continuous log activity I'd rather not deal
with - and they show *no* signs of catching an errant clue any time soon).

If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they
should give serious consideration towards setting a better example:
Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of
unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in
the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and
elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire
populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate...
This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States
as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

The views expressed here are mine, and NOT those of my employers,
associates, or others.  Besides, if it *were* the opinion of all of
those people, I doubt there would be a problem to bitch about in the
first place...
