I just bought a house, and I was not warned that if I left the door open
that someone could come in and take things. Perhaps I should sue my
builder? Or the mortgage company - they definatly have more money :)
Same exact scenario though - even if I dialed into Mindspring, I am open
if I'm an idiot.
I always said that jocks and computers don't mix - not it's jocks, laywers
and computers.
