Man, they really screwed things up. I'll never forget that sad afternoon in 2006 when Congress was passing the "Port Security" legislation. What a bunch of crap, tacking on the anti-online gambling clause. I sat there watching C-Span, and my heart just sank. I had hundreds of different icons on my computer desktop. lol That was the beginning of the end
I agree with you that it is not worth the risk. Just not worth the trouble, or risk.
thanks for the links,
