You are on a roll, Marc:-)

This is an extremely important point. I can't even speculate what tolerance 
thresholds governments and financial institutions operate under with respect to 
fraud, theft, loss, but the numbers are growing daily and we would be foolish 
to dismiss the possibility of government/regulatory outrage and intervention.

[Plea: Having been a bouncer in college, I suspect that the bouncer analogy is 
flawed, let's just let it go and I promise I'll share bouncer stories and 
motivations with you in Cairo:-]

In fact, the more the Internet is self policed the less pressure there is for 
governments to get involved. So if we can solve problems of our networks being 
used for fraud ourselves then there is less pressure to have government pass 
laws to solve our problems for us. So the way I see it we are contributing to 
the freedom and independence of the internet by acting as "bar bouncers" so 
that we don't have to call in the cops.
