RE: failed ssh breakins on my exposed www box ..
Agreed.
I'll never understand why people will let "crackers" reap havoc
on a network without issue, but if someone comes up and tries
to break into my house, the police will be there in 2 seconds.

That is the silliest thing I have ever heard. So what you are saying is
that any kiddy/professional attacker is allowed to do whatever they want to
anyones systems and data because the net is "freedom".
Equate it to the real world...if someone breaks into your house, they can do
that cause they are free. If someone steals your possessions they can do
that too cause they are free....sure
Think about it.
> ...you are responsable for your own security!
That is true.
Also sueing in the civil court sounds like a good idea.
