    But I'll bet *you* use it for DNS lookups, dontcha ;-)   ?
    
    Everytime a CRII infected system tries your web server, you probably do a
    lookup.  DNS traffic has been mimicking CRII traffic, for obvious
    reasons...

    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...
