   Yes, that's  the ticket ...   let's cut  off all sites  with security
holes.  Let's  assume they knew about  the problem, knew how  to prevent
it, and refused to fix it.  Let's  assume that any site is secure (there
are NO 100% secure internet sites in the world, and won't ever be).
 
   Let's punish all readers on YOUR lists because you did this.
 
   I think it is you (Aldo Pier Solaris) who owes NETCOM an  apology for
your unilateral action without thinking.
