Never mind that, Dr. John -- read the posting.  Now, it is actually -on-
a web page although I did not actually realize that at the time, and the
web-page aforementioned (and those which it links to) turns out to be
far more chilling.

The bottom line is that it turns out to be -true- that, if you have File
and Printer Sharing bound to the TCP/IP->Dial-up Adapter ... or if you
have an "always-on" high-speed internet modem and have not secured it
... and you have not yet grasped that this means that "everyone in the
world is on your personal network," then this particular posting and set
of web-pages will ice your bones.  For example, if you are sharing your
printer then I *can* find out everything in your Windows directory
although I cannot alter it...  And so on.

I apologize for posting someone else's long posting to the net 'in its
entirety,' but this particular one stunned me =and is true.=  After all,
we have an enormous amount of intellectual property to protect around
here.

I'm still reeling from the implications of a vulnerability like this
one.
