My point is that anybody that connects to the public networks opens up an
invitation to be scanned. It's a normal part of life on the net. A scan is
harmless. To expect not to ever be scanned is to expect to walk around out
in public and not ever be viewed.

Interesting that the reactions to an unsolicited portscan ranges from
"what's the big deal?" to "string him up by the short-and-curlies!". To
prolong this thread, I feel personally offended if a machine that I own or
admin were portscanned by somebody I didn't know. I wonder, of all the
people that think portscans should not be viewed seriously, how many would
volunteer their own system's IP address with an open invitation to portscans
on this list?
P.S. First person to volunteer 207.46.130.149 gets spit on. :-)
