No need to apologize - just my initial thought was "Oh NO! Now spyware
is capable of DoS attacks?! That junk soaks up enough bandwidth as it is!"

It was indeed informative. Thanks for the link.

I apologize for my habit of trying to be technically accurate. I
sometimes fail miserably myself, however as a Conductor of the Portland
Community Choir said during a televised rehearsal of Handel's Messiah,
"Even if perfection is out of reach, at least keep it in view."
