Perhaps the correct response is some (more) user education and then allow evolution to take over - those people who are too stupid to work this out lose all their money and then they can't use the Internet any more.

Harking back to NZNOG04, sounds to me like an argument about the toaster and the lego set. Some folks may argue that being able to use a global computer network to help you acheive more in less time is not evolution. But I dare say that those people are related to the same people who used to sit around the cave fire and say "hey look, there goes another flash bastard breathing through his nostrils" :-) jamie
