You're Kidding ... Right?
So here's the plan -- we throw it squarely on the shoulders of the ISP. And because of all the extra work that needs to be done (updated login scripts, enabled/disabled accounts, contacting users, increased technical support, etc.), the cost to "Joe Average" consumer goes way up -- even for those people who don't need the "hand holding".

And for what?

"Joe Average" pays out the nose for a "secure" Internet ... that is, until somebody figures out how to bypass all the newly added comfort levels. Then it's back to square one ... but without the money I started with.

No thanks.
