    For a port scan?  Really?
    
    From several of the other posts that have talked about
    this issue...identification of the issue by another
    party in Sept '01, as well as words on Gibson's own
    site stating that there is an issue...it seems that
    the only "immediacy" was the race to malign Gibson,
    something which hardly serves a purpose.
