And you might walk outside and get hit by lightning, so we might as well not bother and stay inside and hide? C'mon, David, you sound like one of those "guarantee me nothing will ever happen" whiners, and I KNOW that's not you. Yes, stuff can happen. But we've had IP into our house, and run our own domains, since 1994-95, and can count the total number of "down" days on two hands. Maybe two hands and a foot (and most of that was when the building next to our ISPs POP caught fire, and the power surges blew out equipment). Yes, stuff can happen, but even if you do nothing and hide in your house, stuff can still happen. It's all about knowing what you're getting into and managing your risks.
