	this stuff is at the lim of my knowledge.  plato.thought.org
	is my firewall.  pfSense.  i don't have a nuculear(!) secrets
	or whatever, but damned if i want these script-kiddies reading
	my poetry.....  or to have somebody hijack anything and spew
	out sp*m----which i severely despise.

	having my domain: server and firewall set up correctly will at
	least (help) keep the bad guys, the crackers of the world, from
	using my bandwidth or crack in.  thus: now that i'm finished
	with my master's in ethics, i have time to get up to speed on
	this stuff.  pfSense,  DNS & BIND,  anf whatever else i let
	slip since 06/2002.

	PS: sorry if i went slightly bonkers there.
