to each thier own I suppose. I just try to be as careful as possible. and I would argue your point that a proxy doesn't do anything. Perhaps you don't understand how secure proxies work. In anycase, I have a buddy in Japan who runs my proxy for me, so I know it's secure... well, as secure as anything can be.

Anywho, I just wanted to pass this info along to anyone who chooses to use it.

thanks
