Not that there are no other fish in the ocean upon whom I can sling my hook, but who can be like my dear Betsy that loves me with such generosity of heart?

Witty seems to have been an orchestrated attack, albeit using an opportunistic method. The paper argues convincingly that we're using the wrong security model; if we don't change, the bad guys are gonna take down a lot of computers. Doesn't matter if it's a prank or something really malicious, it's going to be costly regardless.

All in all, that's a rather impressive performance. The increasing spam count is also rather impressive; after all, I added this tool to my kit because the junk seemed to be getting out of hand.

I receive between 50 and 100 e-mails each day, and read about 60% of those (the unread ones are either duplicates or spam). I used to read about 85% of my mail; the change in percentage is largely because of the increasing spam load. (Eudora has a reporting function; these numbers have some relation to reality.) Perhaps 65% of the real mail has baseball content of some sort or other; the rest is on a wide range of topics.
