[NTLUG:Discuss] White Rice

[Chris Cox]

I was joking.  But still... all they are burning is yours and my

Kind of like murdering the guy who has a shot gun pointed
at your wife's head.  Justice?  After all, no one could really
be sure that he would pull the trigger?  Leaving a back door
on all of these web hosts I do not believe to be something
to be used for the "good" of the internet.
