"attacking innocent users' bandwidth"

Yes, I agree, that some people who's bandwidth are being attacked may be unknowingly involved in this mess, but if they start having problems with their internet access, won't that FINALLY make them think "Hmmm, maybe there is something wrong with my machine ... maybe I should get a virus scanner and a firewall/router, like I've heard so many millions of times but thought I was above it ..."

Colour me inconsiderate, but anyone who is stupid enough NOT to have a firewall/router (hardware ones cost about $100), and an UP-TO-DATE Virus Scanner (not the six month free trial one they got with their computer 6 years ago), is too stupid to own a computer anyways.

Just my rant today, maybe tommorrow I'll be in a better mood.
