It is nice to see the voice of sensibility regarding this security
question finally tilting the scales towards reason.

I see these things as risk/reward propositions.  In this case, as some
feel, the risk of an attack is low, yet they fail to quantify the cost
(negative reward) of a succesfully attack, which could be dramatic and
high.  The flip side reduces the risk to almost nil, and the cost is
minimal (learning to install and configure a piece of software), and
the reward is quite high (peace of mind, supplimental knowledge useful
for other inet apps and services).  When there is such an imbalance in
the risk/reward proposition, the choice is clear.
