Jenn,

	That's a great novella. I was impressed. Will spend a little more time going 
through it, but do think that it covers the points in a way that is simple to 
understand. Hmmmm - wanta GPL it so I can give a copy to the church I 
volunteer for? No? That's okay.

	Anyway - you may want to repost your message up top under a different subject 
heading. I have been simply bypassing/deleting all M$ patches and security 
messages as a matter of course when the subject kind of trailed off topic. 
Read your message after seeing a little bit (after hitting the delete key too 
quickly) - and had to grab the message back again.

	Perhaps most other list readers also missed your post as well. So - I suggest 
a new Subject line: Network Security for Newbies (well - you'll come up with 
a better subject line).
