\nbecause you said, \"You will be directed to the SISNA location nearest
\nyou.\" Or, I mean, your page did. And your page represents you. Are
\nyou thinking I'm all dumb? But, I hadn't clicked anything yet, and if I
\nhad, I hadn't typed anything yet, so if I had clicked anything yet, I
\nhadn't typed anything yet, and I hadn't gone anywhere. Therefore I
\nwould not have gone anywhere yet, and didn't. But, if I was wanting to
\ngo to a Sisna website. Isn't the internet all one? Like, there isn't
\nany one page that is all on all over all networks. I mean, I think your
\npage is at one computer. So, really, if you are saying, the Sisna
\nwebsite nearest me, don't you mean the one that is farthest from me at a
\nspecific location, at the certain time that it is at your machine and I
\nam seeing it? So, it's all really on one page. There isn't any page
\nthat is nearest me. So don't make me think I'm dumb. You're the one
\nthat's dumb. Man, listen to the way you talk.<\/p>\n
\nand stuff, but I don't really care about The Government or News About
\nTerrorism. I'm pretty safe, here, at my computer. Unless the porn
\nwants to get to me. But I'm a good Religous Person, so \"it doesn't\",
\nand when it does, well, it's all on accident. Like those lousy popups
\nat playboy.com. I mean, really, who wants to go there? I didn't. So
\nanyway, about the news on Terrorism. I don't really care about it, but
\nI wonder if Al Qaeda is trying to get to my machine. Because I keep
\ngetting all these popups, on, Zone Alarm, saying: \"The firewall has
\nblocked Internet access to your computer (UDP Port 1026) from
\n61.143.182.138 (UDP Port 30110). Time: 10\/2\/03 2:11:02 AM\" And when I
\ndo a reverse DNS lookup on that IP address, it says \"unable to resolve
\n61.143.182.138\" -- but don't you think that if the war in Afghanistan
\nwas resolved, that we would be able to resolve that IP address? I mean,
\nwho are these terrorists, anyway? And what do they want with my
\nmachine? And why can't our government trace their IP addresses? Are
\nyou not cooperating with the government? I mean, the reverse DNS lookup
\nsite is going through your internet site, or machine, isn't it?<\/p>\n
\nto bad guys, but alot of them I can. For example, the IP Address
\n62.94.66.99 resolves to: ip098-2-8.dialup.edisontel.com, a user on a
\ndomain who scanned a port on my machine to see if it was open and they
\ncould start transferring bad stuff, but I can't yet figure out what the
\nname of this Al Qaeda User means. Here is a whole big list of the bad
\nguys trying to get to my machine, from Zone Alarms' port access blockage

\nstarted logging them to a text file. It's silly, but at least I've got
\na firewall. But on one level, it stinks, and I'd rather they didn't
