Reminds me of an old joke when I was in college. I used to have this in my .signature: Free UNIX accounts. Telnet to 127.0.0.1. Use your existing user ID and password to login. I got a lot of mail from concerned-but-clueless people warning me that this may be a criminal trying to harvest passwords. Of course, the joke is far less effective today, when most people on the internet are not using UNIX systems. -- David
