why be so kind? if you are going to kill them, make them suffer for the aggravation ~evil grin~ 3 vats, shaped as wedges, each one filled with one of: iodine, sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid. put them naked on an unstable platform in the center of the vats, strap a metal cage over genitals, put very hungry vole into cage and spray them both with very cold water. [ works best on a very cold winter day ;) ] the vole eats about 16 times it's body weight daily.. it will eat it's way into their body to get warm.. they fall into a vat, any one of which is extremely painful.

[ includes all Mozilla developers for the ssl / security code. ] right now it boils down to, pay me $xxx.xx and I'll tell everyone you are a great person to do business with online. not a trustworthy basis for issuing ssl certificates. [ incidentally, your digital sig for email gets flagged, because I deleted every CA in the browser list. "Untrusted good signature from Robert Connolly ( Utopia Inc. )" is the flag with no CA to check against as trusted. ] Google-analytics gets an ssl cert acceptance box on every site using it this way. A minor irritation to me, since the number of sites I actually do anything that requires ssl is minimal, I just reject un-needed certificates and connections.
