	Bob, do you have some problem with the concept of private 
property?  His server is just that: _HIS_ server.  He can set any 
restrictions or requirements he wishes on people using it, if they don't 
like his rules they don't have to use his server.  If he wanted to he 
could require that, in order to use his server, a person has to walk from 
Pickering to Mississauga buck naked and painted pea green (not that I 
would expect him to have many users if he did :}

	In this country you have the right to freedom of movement, but if 
you don't get off my property when I tell you to I _will_ throw you off.
