I find it truly amazing that people don't already diversely
monitor.  Hell, have cronned pings running off your friend's cable modem
if that's all you can afford, but for christ's sake, a single box colo'd
in someone else's cage, or a shell at shells.com or nether.net really
isn't that expensive.

P.S.: It is not wise to get me started about other bad network practices
(stub network) or various other stupidities that piss me off.
