Yeah.  I know that you and Martin like to lob softballs at Moz
--but someone might be reading over your shoulders.

There are too many English majors out there producing this kind of drivel

Poorly written and even more pooly maintained by M$ [1]
and used by people who don't know how to lock it down
--at even the levels that it CAN be locked down.

It's been 2 YEARS (April 2004) since CERT (Computer Emergency Readiness Team)
--the computer security experts at the Department of Homeland Security--
said **STOP USING INTERNET EXPLORER**
which they 
repeated even more loudly in June 2004.
