I was just thinking maybe it would be a good idea to run some HUMBUG official 
servers on the network there. An FTP mirror of some stuff, some games 
servers(bzflag and freeciv), and a gnutella client. This would mean there is 
absolutely no excuse for attempting to access any other machine. Secondly we 
could form a lynch mob to provide network security :-PPPPP Thanks,

David
