   Yeah, I saw that.  Way back in the dark ages there used to be some pretty   
   active   
   ones that I followed.   
      
   I was running snoop and supersniffer on my stuff at work.  Saved my bacon when   
   a   
   helpful sysadmin from the main office logged into one of my servers one night   
   and "fixed" it.  Fixed it to the point where the kernel would panic, it'd   
   reboot, and panic and ... I fixed it during the day thanks to getting to see   
   part of what they'd changed.  The next night they "fixed" it again, but I knew   
   what they'd done.  I called and politely asked they not be so helpful in the   
   future.
