offer SSH to everyone in the world. For SSH at home, I accept

specific hosts) ONLY. If I'm going on a trip and need to allow access
from other addresses, I can do so - but for now - 1545 addresses.

I do accept it, but you get 4 tries and then I block you. The reason is
that I do not want to be at some place with an IP I forgot.
Either ssh is safe, or it isn't. The reason I vlock after 4 is not due
to safety, it is due to the fact that I do not want to polute my
logfile.

What it is is security through obscurity and that doesn't work.

Mine is set to five groups, BUT I also kill articles cross-posted to
inappropriate groups - *.advocacy, *microsoft*, *windows* and a lot
of alt.* in addition to "humanities*, rec.* s* (grabs a lot more than
sci.* or soc.*), talk.* and the like. Regular expressions and wild
cards work wonders.

The best is just to kill ALL crossposts.

Most of the crap I see is multi-posted, mainly from google.groups.

Mmm. I never see multiposts from google.
